Default Scale 3-blade

If your looking for a prop you can fly with...there was a selectable pitch hub with replaceable blades availablein a recent model aircraft magazine ad. They had 2, 3 and 4 blade versions of the hub. Appearance was similar to the variable pitch props used on late 1930's to early 1950's aircraft. (almost perfect for a Corsair)

The only other useable in flight options are the common MA and Grish (and a couple of others...) props which won't look as scale, but using a rounded safety prop nut... its not bad.

For display only... most people make thier own.

Try the Top-Flite web page. They have some props that might work.

Default Scale Props

Have you tried looking at Clark Industries props? They might have what you need.

Hi Sean! I enjoy your website!

I have seen an ad in the back of Skyways, but can't find it right now. When I looked at the site, I believe it was mainly 2-blade, anyway. Col. Art Johnson had very nice drawings and tips for making the 3-blade Ham-Std on his P-35 - you might take a look at those.

As far as a flyable prop, I'm not sure who makes them, but a friend had a scale 4 bladed prop on a P-51. It would fly too. I asked him what would happen with the P-51 did its inevitable nose over in the grass, and he promptly bent the prop a very tight 180 degrees. It was VERY difficult to flex, but it would if you ever hit it hard. It was one of the all fiberglass P-51's that they race with a Zenoah G-62 and gear reduction.
