We have the option of fitting for the short term Hastings props. Serviceable three blade props. are non existant, unless you know different. There is a rumour that the props. from the scrapped "Oz" a/c went to the US, can anybody confirm where or why? Any prop. parts would be welcome.
Tyres are another problem. Three routes, make new tyres & tubes or redesign the wheel to take a modern tyre. Third option is to take an existing wheel/brake unit/tyre combination which will work & fit that. This is being done for CR-42. Please no questions on the CR-42, otherwise I will never get any work done. Suffice to say you may have the airframe to view at next Legends. (static only)
Mosquito remains in the wings!
