Prop Shaft Adapter for Fuji 50
Need some advise..
Have a Fuji50 Engine. Would like to put a high end Prop such as a Mejzlik. Seems that the Fuji has a 8mm shaft and most of the high end predrilled props are drilled at 10mm...Can someone point me in the right direction to an adapter of some sort or how I can do this. Maybe I'm stuck with something like a Zinger or Top Flight. Thanks.

RE: Prop Shaft Adapter for Fuji 50
If the propeller you wish to use has a larger hole in it than comes with your propeller, you'll have to make an insert for the prop that has an 8 mm inside diameter and a 10 mm outside diameter. We don't know of an adaptor for props with larger holes drilled in them.

You might want to check on other wooden props such as Menz, 3W, Chip Hyde and so forth. I recently bought an Menz wood prop for my DA 100 and had to ream out the center to fit. The Zingers and Top Flights are okay, unless you really want some thrust. You get what you pay for. The difference between my Zinger 26X10 and Menz 26X10 (new DA 100) break in prop is amazing. The Zinger just fails to perform at anything near the level of the Menz.
Good luck on your search for a prop match.
