Basically, if it moved it needed machining to fit properly.

I'm posting this pic just to show my Bear transport system. The plane just sits in the cradle HOWEVER there are 4 straps attached to a wing tube stub and I honestly believe I could crash and roll over and the plane wouldn' budge!

Nuts are crimp style aircraft hardware. They will NEVER let go no matter how hot it gets.

Mild steel straps. Shape must be accurate or they will loosen in service.

Completed choke lever (OK, it's really not a choke is it? It's a fuel passage opener). I made sure it wouldn't bind even if you operate the throttle with the choke lever engaged.

I mounted two super bright LEDs on the struts. They require a 1S lipo to operate. That's the batt you see lower right on the equipment tray. Behind the batt is the servo operated switch to the lights turn on and off. Once I see the locks are engaged I will turn them off to save the batt for lots of flights. I found I'd get about 30 minutes of lighting with them on steady so I'll have plenty of capacity even if I leave them on a lot.

Balanced and ready to run. It just took a little flat black paint on two blades to balance perfectly. These propellers are simply gorgeous.

Blade weights in grams. You can see opposing blades are within a gram of each other. Good job Sven!

Four new works of functional art. And in my opinion the price is VERY reasonable.

I always wondered what the structure was inside these awesome blades. But I would've rather NOT found out this way! I split one in half to inspect.

I drilled safety wire holes into one of the prop hub bolts and use it as the anchor for the main prop bolt safety wire.

There's just enough room between the spinner and cowl to slip a finger in and pop it out to inject oil intto the manifold.

The oil line just exits the bracket towards the front. When the cowl is on it naturally wants to truck right into front rim. Note nifty red cap.

In the background you see how this scalloped out area will now join with the recessed fuselage air exit to facilitate lots of air exit.
