guys, how do mount the 20.5x 14 APC prop with Himax 210kv motor. Motor comes with a small single 8mm prop nut is this secured? How do you install a prop spinner on this.
Just install the spinner backplate and propeller with the supplied bolt and the large washer. The bolt is aluminum so don't over tighten it, but make it just snug.

It does not appear to be a very robust attachment method. However, I have more than 500 flights with 2 of these motors and never experienced any loosening whatsoever.

What kind of spinner are you using?

I replaced the standard alum bolt with a steel socket head bolt same MM size and cut slightly longer to accomodate the backplate. I think I got this at Lowes. With this you can snug up pretty tight and not worry about stripping the thing out. Works very well.

I have many flights on this motor using the aluminum bolt with no issues. Electric motors prop bolts/nuts probably don't have to be tightened as much as glo due to much less 'pounding' at that attachment point. My guestimate is I probably tighten them about 75-80% of the torque I used on glo.

Also electrics don't backfire like 4-stroke glows, which is the main reason they use the double jam nuts on glow.

The amount of friction available at the side on the washer/prop bolt facing the prop is important. Some of the titianum bolts has a very smooth and shine surface and will not provide enough grip no matter how it is tighten. Once it is rough up, the grip is more than enough.

I would still prefer to tighten the bolt down. You really do not want to loose the power during the takeoff and/or that expensive prop.

F3A unlimited sells a 'long bolt' for this motor to use with certian props but don't give examples of what props/spinner combos so now that I just ordered one of these motors I would like to know if I need the bolt if I use any of the popular sized APC props like the APC 21x14 e prop?

The standard bolt will fit APC as well as most CF props, such as PT, Mejz and Falcon, all of which I have used with this motor.

It is a very light bolt and you'd swear it is not up to the task, but it is fine. Just don't try to crank it down too tightly... a bit snug is plenty.

I would hazard a guess that the only props that would cause a problem are woodie Xoars and Hattas, etc.

Yes, you will need the long bolt from F3A...

I just went through this... Look at my Monolog Thread...

The standard bolt is too short for the thickness of the APC Prop...

I'm using the TruTurn Turbo Cool spinner for the 2M Monolog w/ the Himax 6330-210.

I am using GP e-spinners so perhaps the backplate is thinner...

I just looked and could not find any reference to any bolt in this thread. A pic though of the prop/spinner on and showing why the standard bolt is too short would go a long way for the next guy looking at the review and wondering the same thing.

thx.

I'll try to take pictures of the TruTurn Spinner and parts and post them... The long bolt from F3A is:

http://www.f3aunlimited.com/webstore...roducts_id=726

The standard combination of the motor supplied by F3A includes a prop bolt that I could only get 1 to 2 threads max on, and would not tighten up. The long bolt (Himax Extra Long Prop Bolt for 6330 Series) fits perfect...

Don't forget APC has been beefing up their e props, hubs getting thicker. Could account for some working and others not.

This might be the case, Joe. I have 3 of these motors (the original 200 and two of the 210's) and never had a problem.

But I have not used APC props for a couple of years, since switching to all CF. Except for the original 200 which has found new life on a sport plane (Seagull Miles Sparrowhawk) and is still running with an APC and original bolt.

It may also be related to thickness of the spinner back plate for the TruTurn Spinner...

Just bought this motor and wondering if the CC Edge 80A HV will work? Anyone using this one?

Thanks
Mike
