Prop spar size is 0.080" sq tapering to 0.035" sq from about 4.5 lb wood. Tubes are 0.078" dia formed on brass tube. BTW a square is a special case of a rectangle.

  That sounds like it may be easyier. May I ask what size spar you use
  for an 18" prop. And what size paper tube do you fit it into.
  Thanks
