H.Zwakenberg Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi Canard Zone members, preparing for my experimental IBIS canard project, I discovered that propeller design and propeller building information isn't really collected in a single place, so that everyone can benefit from it. To this end, I set up a Yahoo-group about exactly this topic. One day, you'll be ready with your project build and engine installation and you're going to need a prop. Please consider joining our Experimental Aircraft Propeller Building Group by opening the following URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/propeller/join take care, Hans _____________________________ My homebuilt aircraft project http://ibis.experimentals.de/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Our own Nick Ugolini has a propellor-building page on his Web site. Nick is building a 'Cozy Classic Special'.

H.Zwakenberg Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks Jon, for that link. I included it in the links list on the Yahoo group. Since my initial call anouncing this new group a couple of days ago, we've had over 130 members to sign up! I don't know if this is 'standard Yahoo operating practice' but these numbers keep amazing me to no end.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Matcho Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Thanks Jon, for that link. I included it in the links list on the Yahoo group.Here's another: http://www.canardzone.com/members/PhillipJohnson/Propeller/building_the_propeller.htm Since my initial call anouncing this new group a couple of days ago, we've had over 130 members to sign up!That's fairly amazing. If I get brave enough to do the same, maybe I can consider. Perhaps I can do so with a homebuilt CNC machine I've been fancying these past few months... I have time on this consideration...

H.Zwakenberg Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Group, as of now, we are over 210 members and counting. It amazes me to no end how fast this thing developed. bye Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumaros Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hans, I'd like to build my own prop, no mistake about it. However, the magnitude of the task, the need for absolute accuracy and repeatability in two or three blades in three dimensions, combined with the disastrous results if something would go wrong, again combined with the relatively low price for a two or three blade Ivo in-flight adjustable prop, made me decide to buy. I wish you and the members of the prop forum lots of success in your endeavour. Kumaros Quote It's all Greek to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
