Title: Poser about Prop Video
Post by: peabody on November 08, 2018, 01:23:44 PM

Years ago Windy did a video about props, pretty inclusive, including shaping, balancing and various tip and shapes.
Was any of it correct?

Thanks

I thought it was a very informative presentation about props and tuning of props.  The prop video I was referring to is not on Youtube yet.  I will someday  get around to uploading it.

I'm interested, so where's the link? Is it on YouTube, and if not, why not?  D>K Steve

Yea , its there .

Dosnt get into tables of data , or a great deal of cross referances . Though he has a liquid marker and a white board or paper .

fairly much speculations & generaliseations , rather than quantifed specifics .

There was a page or so article in SN in the late '90's that gave some guidelines about prop tip shapes. I believe it was by some Canadians, but I don't recall who. Maybe Ken Bird and Bruce Perry?

I tried a search on YouTube for the Windy U. video, with nothing obvious showing up for what I plugged in. Don't have time to look through all them, as it's chow time. Beef stew and baking powder biscuits...YUM!  y1 Steve

Since we know that Paul Taylor is posting a lot of Windy vids on YouTube, I'd bet that "Ptaylo" is his nickname. No idea who "CLGuy" , or "Playto" would be. Anybody know?


Thanks for posting the link to the Windy Prop video, Matthew. I should be able to catch some good z's while watching it this evening.  LL~ Steve
