Title: Propeller swap
Post by: Aeroresurrect on May 30, 2015, 09:11:01 PM
I have one new 11 x 5.5 nylon propeller which I want to swap for a (used or new) 8 x 4 size propeller.
If interested may please contact me.

@aeroresurrect,
Here is an 8x4.
If you think it is worthwhile spending Rs 39 each way on Speedpost, pm me your address and i'll send on Monday. You can also send me the 11x5.5 by Speedpost on Monday. I'll PM you my address.

BTW that 8x4 is an electric prop. Not for glow.
Just noticed your query about lubricant for glow engine in another thread.
You can get glow props from Sharma Aero, Jodhpur.

Let me know which electric motor / glow engine you propose to use.
If i have a suitable prop, i'll send you.

Thank you KK, for your offer.

You rightly guessed, the 8 x4 prop I want is for a glow (Toki .15)
Since I am a newbie, I wouldn't know if there is a difference between glow props and electric props (functionally dia and pitch of prop matters !).

I will send you the 11 x 5.5 prop as soon as I get your address ! I'll PM you mine.

@aeroresurrect,
Is that Toki 0.15 a car engine? Or suitable for aero?
Toki site does not list any 0.15 aero engine...

Electric and glow props differ in strength.
No electric prop can survive the vibration of a glow engine.
This is only an educated guess as i've not actually tried.
But my D2826 2200kv motor, that runs above 18,000 rpm, broke the blades of a 7x3.5 prop, not once but twice.

After dinner i'll check if i have a glow 8x4. Mostly electric last 4 years.
