We like special orders!!
- The above propellers are our standard offer. I chose the types according to the popularity of our customers.
- However, completely new projects are very interesting for us. We are able to obtain data and original documents, create our own drawings and produce a wooden propeller for a static airplane or airworthy for a historic flying machine.
Four-blade R.E.8 propeller
Even though this was just a decrative prop, the target was to create a historicaly accurate reproduction. R.E.8 is a former British two-seat multi-purpose biplane from 1916. A patina is applied on the surface. The customer asked us if we could make the propeller look really old.
The story of this propeller, which we first made in 2014
I received an order for this propeller from a Czech customer. In 2014, it became propeller with serial number 0008, and already four-blade in full size. The request was to make it look very old. After a few months, when the propeller was completed (back then it really took me a month to complete a propeller like this) the customer decided to cancel the order because he moved to a smaller house and asked me if I could store it in my shop. One day, he would pick it up in person. The propeller attended various exhibitions with me and in the end, the propeller ended up hanging in my living room as a chandelier, as it was already seven years since the original order and I agreed with the customer that I would eventually make a new propeller for him once he moves to a larger house.
Levasseur propeller for a static Nieuport 24
This was an urgent request from a Korean builder of Nieuport 24 for a local aviation museum. We have our own plans for this French propeller in full size – 254cm long. The prop was finished with patina and it was the first time we applied patina also on the brass sheathing.

Propellers for Wright Flyer 1906
It’s an authentic reproduction of the original wooden propellers from 1906. We made both left and right propellers from spruce, according to original French drawings.
A few more pictures of how this unique propeller is built.
Hamilton Propeller
Even though I didn’t receive the information about the aircraft that used this type of propeller, I got a request to reproduce exactly this propeller from late 20ties, including the typical emblem of the original manufacturer. It turned out to be one of the best looking propeller we made in 2018.
This particular propeller was made of beech with brown stain and patina. It was the first time we applied patina on the brass sheathing too. Length of 206cm which is 1:1 with the original propeller. It was shipped to the USA.
AXIAL four-blade propeller
1:1 reproduction of this rare propeller originally installed on Fokker DR.I powered with Siemens-Halske 240hp rotary engine.
The propeller had to be transported to the Netherlands in two pieces, therefore it’s just bolted together and not glued into one single piece. The material is ash with a light brown stain, leading edges are protected with a brass sheathing. Diameter is 250cm.
Grémont propeller from Caproni Ca.33
We received a request for this propeller from a Slovak customer. His wish was to have a propeller from this airplane at home as a wall art and a commemoration of the last flight of the co-founder of the Czechoslovak Republic, M. R. Štefanik. It was a pleasure!
