Andreas, I hope I'm not to late about a warning about the airscrew!
Something is wrong, it looks like you used the wrong rotation direction. At first I had the feeling that something is wrong, so I checked the Windsock "Fokker Fighters D.I~IV". All the props rotates clockwise in flight direction.

Any chance to see you next weekend in Fürstenfeldbruck?

Cheers,
Frank

Great build, and a very unusual decoration. It's inspiring.

Thanks a lot Rick, Juan, Ondra, Ed, Gaz and Giuseppe!

Frank, yes you are right, they are twisted. What a silly mistake...! Thanks for the hint. I already prepared another Garuda... and ruined it. This evening I'll do the third. And the build was so problem free -- till now. But well, that's definitely not the fault of the kit ???


FFB,  yes, I‘ll be there as things stand right now. Will we meet us there?

Yes, I'm an exhibitor on both days. Will be on upper floor.
It is so great to be able to meet you in person! Please give me a explicit sign, who you are ;)
Some people, who I do not know yet, promised to come along to meet me too.

See you,
Frank

Przemo, thank you very much!

Frank, I am sure we'll recognize each other. I am the guy with the WWi stuff :-) I'll have a look around for your desk.
Manni, you won't regret coming to FFB.
I am keen on meeting you in person, guys!

The Prop is done and I call this one finished. More pics now in the "completed" section!


Best regards
Borsos
