that looks more than adequate but will still have the mess of tapping blind holes for the prop screws. with the 18mm thick flange at front you will be lucky to get 14mm deep threads and you will...

shorter is always better but be sure to leave enough depth for the prop centering plug to stay nice and square with the clearance it has....i'm sure there are charts out there for that kind of thing...

if you neck it down to 40mm then you're only saving ~40g....and then you have to worry about where the holes for your prop screws are going to end up.

there have been quite a few hub failures with the cheap RCGF engines where the wall thickness was around 2mm. these are smaller engines from around 20cc to 45cc and no idea what alloy was used.

fine as long as the tubing doesn't harden and leak at the barbed fittings with exposure to the fuel. small spring clamps would be good insurance.

maybe removing the hub from the mandrel put a scratch inside? air not escaping due to oil on the parts? that would feel spongy and not a hard stop though.

is the plug steel or aluminium?

would be nice if the 10mm spigot was bored and taped for a small clamping screw to hold the prop.

having the 10mm spigot integral to the jig is a much better idea than tapping the jig for an...

misread, i thought you were talking about putting the 10mm spigot on the actual prop washer instead of in the hub....probably not a great idea anyways.

with the amount of beef there i wouldn't worry about not having a chamfer. if you were necking the hub down in the center and using something nasty like 7075 then it would start being important.

only reason to stick with one of the standard prop screw patterns is borrowing props from other modellers. for your engine size that would mean the 29mm xM5 pattern but that sounds like it won't...

my hub is 41mm in diameter and is a pretty good fit for 22" props, you could go a bit larger.

yes, M5 screws are pretty much the standard. grade 12.9 is the best way to go and even those can...

would be wise to go with C3 bearings. most large two strokes use that or even looser.

standard clearance CN bearings will often die prematurely in this type of application.

forgot, 17x23 is a standard seal size but still might be wise to go OEM so you are for sure getting something with the correct material and sealing properties.
