Was just wondering if anyone has tried converting an electric depron parkjet for use with a Norvel 061? I'd really like to fly one of them, but don't want to shell out all the cash that would be needed since I have no electric hardware at the time.

What size of pusher prop can a Norvel 061 use?

Thanks for everyone's input!

Both Grish and COX have pusher props. The Grish yellow 6x3 pusher is handled real well by Norvel 061s. There is also a whole universe of E props that could be tried if the hub area looks beefy enough. Running in pusher mode is harder on the engines, and the fuel mixture / fuel gravity changes are exactly the opposite that you want when the tank is ahead of the engine.

Make sure the little brass or steel thrust washer is between the case and the drive washer. You don't want to have alloy on alloy with not much oil.
