      Of course you're free to shape the prop however you want to, but as you were asking for problems/errors...
      Such props were typically tapered much narrower closer to the hub/root. And they were usually rotating in the other direction too (clockwise when seen from the pilot).
      Here's a model of a plane quite similar to yours, the Sikorsky S-16: http://www.essmc.org.au/jonbuncess16.html

        I'm surprised nobody has suggested tricking it out with few machine guns, missile launchers and maybe some laser cannons and a cloaking device 🤣

          My prop is rough, it lacks finesse, I agree. 😉 i'm gonna to make smtg like this:

            Hmmm, are you talking about a bee? Or plane? In fact, I intend to install a couple of big guns on it))

              Better install a couple of bees on a gun 💚 (btw, here on scf we are pacifists)

                Hmmm....hadn't thought of the bee, now that would be interesting (although with it's undersized wings it might also need a warp engine)

                  Warp?
                  Sure you didn't mean a real Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine? 😉

                      Nah, just add a Flux Capacitor, why warp speed if you have time travel.

                        Yeah, I'd go for that, if I could install it in one of my oldies (that dang Delorean is just not my style 😆 )

                            I don't know if Pete got the word that the speed of light may have been exceeded by some overclocking Neutrinos. Warp drive may not be off the table.

                                            Hi to all!
                                            I have not much time these days, but i've done a pair of things.
                                            New elevator (in comparsion with the old one). Thanks to Fredo6's Curviloft, very useful plugin!compare2.png
                                            I also added to the rotation axis of the elevator, on a separate layer, hmmm, let's call it the guideface.
                                            guideface.png
                                            It is handy to rotate. I'll do the same thing with all the other moving parts.
                                            Animation of how it works 😄
                                            elevator.gif
                                            The frame is not ready yet, I want to add some details to it.
