Video--how they make props at Brodak's
« on: June 20, 2010, 05:12:33 PM »
While I was at the Brodak Fly In last week I got in a tour of the factory. I don't think you could ask for a friendlier or more knowledgable group of folks as those that produce the products we use.
Here is a link to the You-Tube video I took. <=

Thanks for the video.  I can still remember when Bill Swagerman used to make the Y&O props.  Used to go over to his place where he finished them.  His dad did the preliminary work.  Could not find them in the local hobby shops.  He said most props went out to the coasts.  It is hard realizing that such a great man is in a nursing home now.  I am glad that someone has taken the time to make them again.   H^^
