Title: Spinner spiral that extends to the propellor blades
Post by: oakranger on May 04, 2010, 08:48:13 PM

Not sure if we have a skin that dose this or if it can be done.

That's pretty neat looking. I'm sure it's possible, as long as it's ok for the prop stripes to be mirrored on both sides of the prop.

Promise to fly with your engine off and I might see what I can do.

I found decals for an A8 or F8 with similar spirals that I was going to use for a skin, but outside of the spiral prop (which is skinnable), it was rather like most other late end-of-war paint schemes and bored me, so I decided not to.
