Hard on the heels of his novel propeller gauge seen on last month's modelflight, air space features a most ingenious device developed by Barrie Russell for faithfully copying propellers in wood.

This is Clifford McIlwee's Messerschmitt Bf-110, built from a Gerry Fingger plan. Clifford originally went down the electric route, but later reverted to i.c. power and installed two four-stroke engines which, he says, sound great. Wouldn't be the same if it didn't make a decent noise, would it? See more on gallery.
