Biplane (not a copy of a real plane)

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

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

Nope, I'm talkin' "We need warp drive now Scotty or we're all dead"

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
) -
Need some wire bracing on those wings!

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.

Of course!
Reworked engine (a little bit), and the new prop. -
Looks great with the new prop
-
-
Is that a metal prop now?
-
-
The new, more hi-poly fuselage with inner frame, and start making a cockpit (the japanese pilot was taken from 3dwarehouse for breadboarding). -
Lookin' better all the time

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!
I also added to the rotation axis of the elevator, on a separate layer, hmmm, let's call it the guideface.
It is handy to rotate. I'll do the same thing with all the other moving parts.
Animation of how it works
The frame is not ready yet, I want to add some details to it.

Dang, it looks like you're really gonna fly this thing!
-
Looks really good!
