The "No Propellers" Group build will be starting soon so I thought we should start talking about it.

I've been thinking of doing one of the F-86 family of fighters I have in my stash.
I'm leaning toward the F-86D or F but I'm not sure I want to to another NMF so soon.

surprisingly i have plenty of options for this one, but might join you with an RAF 112 Sqn Sabre complete with a shark mouth !

Hmmm. A Messerschmitt Me 262 should do the job, right?

Unless you want to do an He280 or He162...

Unless you want to do an He280 or He162...

Or perhaps a Grunau Baby (a glider, so it's "no propeller").

 

[tango35]

The Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger coukd also be used ??

 

[Wurger]

Well, it didn't have the propeller ...

 

[tango35]

OK, i am in with a Heinkel He 162 Volksjäger !

 

[Wayne Little]

At this stage, my choice.....

so no Me 163 then

 

[Airframes]

Nah, that's not a prop, it's Grounhog tickler ....................

I can see Karl has a trouble with a size.

They had to figure out a way to make the prop turn real fast, that's why they put a rocket engine in it

Now i thought the tiny prop attached to a rubber band that cold started the rocket motor !

I never would have thought of that.
