Need a 30" sopwith pup propeller

Hi,
Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction... I need a wooden prop... about 29-30 inches in length... similar in style to what you would find on a sopwith pup...

This is for a personal project... it does not need to be airworthy.

I've looked in some online hobby shops... but none of them have pictures... I don't want one of those modern looking squared off props... I need that special trailing edge curve that you find on old sopwith props...

Any ideas or part numbers?

Thanks

Rob,

I am looking to get some experince making a propeller. Working on a prop that is not to scale and does not need to be airworthy might be just the ticket. Can you PM me so that I can get details on your requirements??

Phil,
I have lofting drawings for Se5 and Jenny props. Maybe for a Sopwith prop as well.
Let me know if you want me to search around for it.

John,
Are these electronic, or paper copies? If paper, how big?
