One day a pilot, the next a propeller maker. Today I am running the CNC machine, making propellers for Groppo Trails! Quite good fun really.
Take a look at our new website if you've not seen it yet. We are keen to hear your feedback! hercprops.com

We are in the process of building a very swish new website, so keep an eye on our updates for the launch. We are VERY excited!
Busy times at Hercules - our latest Pitts prop has been soundly approved by @LaurenAirshows and now we're making an SE5A replica prop :)

Some interesting WW1 work going on here at the moment, one Sopwith Pup propeller being finished and a Bristol Fighter one being started!

Tools you never thought a propeller maker needed, part 1: the blowtorch. Used to anneal the brass for leading edges.
We have a custom made decorative Tiger Moth prop up for a song on eBay. Take a look, grab a piece of history here: pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=ite…

@g0bhx @HerculesProps yup. We use computer modelling and CNC machining, followed by personal hand craft with every single propeller we make

From flat sheet to formed leading edge. All done using hands & plenishing hammer. Very careful work! @HerculesProps
