A propeller fella........

Recently I have become fascinated by the propellers that I receive on engines and in related grab-bags.  Some are really nice, but this 12" Top Flight was particularly grungy.



Using the least invasive method I first tried formula 409 and a kitchen pot scrubber.  As expected not much progress.



So giving up on saving the Top Flight logo I threw caution to the wind and hit it with a cutting oil and fine steel wool, better but not good so I graduated to used 400 grit wet/dry and cutting oil.  Progress.  I finished with more fine wool and Howard Feed-N-Wax.



 

I wanted to mount it on one of my .60 Enyas, but Enya insists on using 7mm prop shafts on .60's and the propeller had a 6mm hole so I put in on an OS Max .60 which uses a 6mm shaft.



Big fellas, little fellers...........



Much ado about very little, but I think it looks nice as a display and would probably be able to use.
