Hi everyone,
Due to health reasons, I am thinking about buying a hand held electric starter for my FG-90 R3, do any of you guys use a starter ? If so, which one ? I would appreciate some comment from somebody who actually uses one.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

I’ve been looking at beila props but they are too thick at the hub to fit a backplate on for a spinner due to the length of the prop nut thread. Can anyone please help with alternative brands of quality propellers which work on the Saito 84?

What Beila prop? I run a 22X12 Beilla Fokke Wulf prop from Aircraft International on my Zero with an 84 as well as the 22X12 WWII Prop. That's a lot of oil on the ground!

The beila 24 x 10 prop I have is a 34mm thick hub and too big for a spinner, unless I recess the prop nut. The WWII ones are 30mm I believe, does that not cause the same issue?

I hope this is going to work...
I've cut into the Beila prop by 14mm to enable the use of my spinner.

I think it’s 34mm from memory. I wonder if I have a shorter prop shaft as a few people have commented the same. With the back plate for the spinner on I can only just get the whole of the first nut on, but only if I omit the washer.

Is that the semi scale black prop or one of the white ones that’s 24.5mm?

1) 3 Blake Simi-Scale Corsair Style. 22X12 or
2) 3 Blade Semi-Scae Fokke Wulf Style 22X12
Either one will work.

I can only think that Biela has changed the size that they manufacture to.
This engine isn’t new to me and was in my Hangar 9 Corsair for three years previously, first with a 22 x 10 3b semi scale Biela, then 22 x 12 3b and lastly the 24 x 10 2b.
The 2 blade is the thickest at 34mm.
22 x 12 3b is 28mm
22 x 10 3b is 27.2mm.
