Historic Propellers and Rudders Decorative

[Driver56]

Hello pilots!

 

recently I stopped by a wonderful website (http://historicpropellers.com) and figured out that they also make metal rudders from WW2 fighter aircraft (got a photo attached). Does anyone has an experience with them? Attached are some photos so that you can also take a look. Maybe something you all would like to have in your office/living room? 

 

See you in the sky!

Seems to be all WW1 stuff, but mighty cool

Yep, that's definetly a Fokker aircraft rudder (possibly Dr.I).

 

Interesting stuff though.

If you go to their website and click on constructions, you will see also rudders from BF-109 and FW-190

The man behind this is a really nice Czech guy called Vasek from the RoF forums.  His work is absolutely superb.  On going thread here;

I just by lucky chance found this topic 

 

Thank you for the nice comments. However, I am not sure if I could be considered a "nice guy" ?   :-)

 

Maybe I will try the this new flight simulator now Compared to RoF (WW1), the combats are much faster, aren't they? I'm not sure if I would be able to handle that, I am used to the old and slow biplanes

 

Cheers!!!

Hey Vasek, I'm sure you can adapt to BoS. 

 

It's a fabulous sim with lots of action, a nice change from RoF, and only makes going back to the sticks and canvas that much more sweet!

 

Just be ready to get shot down a lot, all over again...

Off the Camel being restored at Duxford, the one flown off a lighter to intercept a zeppelin (can't remember the chap's name, think he won a VC tho...)
