Propellor Bracketry Continued...

Some good progress, but you have to understand that I am a self ascribed "hack machinist" So this is on the boundary of what I am comfortable with doing in some respects.

Today I took the strut, put it roughly were it should be, and basically stared at it until I had some semblance of how I might construct the pieces necessary to mount the propeller roughly where it should go. I described it to my mom, "Trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle that is changing as you go along."

I think planning is a very good thing and somethings when they get too complicated must be painstakingly planned.

But this is how I'm letting the metal and hull unfold. Future testing may reveal that alterations or a new plan is necessary.
