Mike Myers and Dave Harding shared
on the Internet their embarrassing
experiences with propeller carving, so I

I forget who did which, but one
of them got to the point of actually
launching his model, only to find the
propeller was pitched backward. It flew
backward just a short distance. That
story was then topped by one in which
the two blades were carved pitched in
opposite directions.

The photo caption for Franny
Brodigan’s good-looking Cumulus
model in the April 2012 issue of MA
mentioned that the kit was produced

information didn’t get listed in “Sources,”
so I’ll correct that oversight.
