HOW TO MAKE WOOD PROPELLERS [CD]
 
 
This unique item is a CD version of
How To Make Wood Propellers by E. Schubert.

If you are constructing a home-built aircraft or ultralight, or even your boat, you will definitely want to consult this, and have it handy for use during your project!

And with the material on CD, you can read it at your convenience, and print out only what you need at your side during each phase of construction. And if it gets dirty or lost... print it out again!

If you want to know what this item contains, just look to the right -- you will find a complete list of topics covered. Believe me, you will not feel "short of information!"

Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to utilize this material, and you will find Acrobat Reader versions included on the CD for Windows, Linux, and the Mac.
