In the last batch of prop blanks from the Prop Factory (my dad), I received a couple of blanks that were strange in appearance.\u00a0 The pitch was as advertised but the block layout was shifted (due to an error in machine set up).\u00a0 I decided that these were so strange that I did not want to sell them to a customer base that loves every aspect of wooden props – including how nice and symmetrical a blank should look.<\/p>\n

So, I decided to see if I could make a finished product that would look good.\u00a0 The photos show the result.\u00a0 I think the finished prop looks fine, but I will let the public decide!<\/p>\n

This is a 10″ Diameter x 14″ Pitch regular rotation balsa prop for Rubber Powered Free Flight.\u00a0 Notice the “scimitar” shape to the blades – this was due to the layout issues mentioned above – I could not get a symmetrical blade out of this blank.\u00a0 The maximum blade width is about 1.25″<\/p>\n

This was made from 5-pound balsa and it now weighs 1.7 grams as shown.\u00a0 It will need final finish (dope, CA, glassing – your choice), a central hub installed (currently a 3\/32″ hole), and some sort of drive\/freewheeler.\u00a0 These are left to the buyer.\u00a0 Also, there has been no effort to balance the prop, although it is nearly balanced.\u00a0 I also carved in a bit of under-camber into the blades.<\/p>\n
