Paul Mantz/Jackie Cochrane Kit #0013
I didn't like the method the kit used to install the propeller, I thought it was too fragile and too limiting in how it required the spinner and prop parts to be
assembled so I put a 1/8 aluminum tube in the fuselage and a brass 3/32 tube in the prop. The brass tube is super glued to the front of the prop now so I can
remove the spinner backplate for painting. The brass/aluminum combination has low friction and the prop spins easily without being loose.I
