Hi,
I think you need some scale drawings of feathering paddles which you will
have to then scale to your paddle diameter. The alternative is a lot of
clever work on a drawing board.
When I built my models years ago I got a book published by the Maritime
museum on the Paddle tug reliant. The book's title was "Old Order New Thing"
which had diagrams in it.
If you cant get one then I could scan off the paddle page & e-mail it to
you
Regards
Clif
