On the recommendation of an OFB, I decided to try some of these hand-carved propellers, I made it hard for Alan, asking for some matched twin-pusher props as well as some 8" Two-Bit props.. That meant that the paired TP props ideally should match weight wise, as well as pitch wise, but most of all, it required a right-handed prop as well as a left-handed prop. What I got was far better than I had expected. They were finish-shaped, nicely sanded, and had a couple of coats of nitrate. All I have to do is add the Esaki tissue for strength and a final coat or two of thinned nitrate as required for final balancing. Remarkable value for the price! Although I do carve my own smaller props, I could easily be spoiled by these propellers. If you want to try an old stick'n'tissue design but are intimidated by the prospect of the balsa prop, get one of these jewels!
