Default RE: 1/8 scale functional Hamilton Standard hub for RCV SP engines.

remember scale for a 60 size F4-U is 19" prop and 1/7 scale would be a 18 3/4

correction on that quote..lol oops. I typoed i meaning to say the biggest downfall of the VarioProp was that its (only) 15" and not bigger. What would the cost be to make a mold for bigger blades and better scale like profile for the varioprop? thats what would be cool. or even bwetter, the design of the V/P hub is way simpler. so whats the cost to machine 10mm hub design and say ahhh maybe a 19 inch diameter prop. im pretty sure its something that could maybe be done my a machinist and not a cnc.? any thoughts?


i have a H-9 F4-U with a os ft160 twin and that baby will turn a 18 inch 3 blade but V/P dont make any bigger than 15
