No, The only Scimatar props I have read comments are with projects in
France, I will like to give it a try soon, just need to read more about
it to design it well, I dont want it to brake in flight...
I did tried the Hess "almost constant speed propeller" method, in one
propeler (number two) it worked fine, suposed to get 2" more of pitch
in take off, so the climb and cruise range will be wider... In that
plane I had no previous prop to compare, but was a very smooth ride and
performed well, The engine was sold with the prop with only about 8
hours, I like this props.
Carlos mi airplane partner, likes better the Cluton's method, so when
the next prop is needed I think will be a Cluton, "less wood to cut off
and works great, what we want?" He said once...
We have lots of fun with our hobby, I hate to have to work for a living
:-) :-) two more kids to go to College left...
Saludos

There's been a real shortage of hair-brained ideas lately. And that
leads to a shortage of righteous flaming.
To increase messages in both categories, let me ask this: Would it be
possible to make the Vs of the split-axle landing gear from laminated
ash? Anyone have any specific information (pounds per square inch etc.)
that would rule this out?
Seems within the realm of possibility, since the Flybaby gets away with
wooden landing gear without springs or bungees, but just big thick
tires. Of course it's wire braced, but still...

I can certainly believe that you could make the Vees from wood--the loads
would be about the same as for the straight axle. The problem would be in
the moments involved in attaching the stub axles to a wooden Vee. With a
straight axle, it's not a problem, there's no bending moment transfered to
the wood; everything is (almost) in compression. With the split axle, there
will be a whole lot of torque, one way or another, when a wheel starts
taking load. It is approximately balanced by the extension for the shock
absorber strut, but will still be sensitive to bounces and side loads.
Maybe a REALLY BIG gusset on the bottom of the Vee would work.
