Hello Jet Jocks,

I have two Hurricane impellors to replace Byron fans in my F-16 and Mig-29. But, I am missing the adapter nut that screws unto the OS 91 DF and the bolt that holds the 'spinner cone' on. I was hoping that somone had these parts from a failed or un-needed Hurricane Impellor. I believe the tractor and pusher versions that go on the OS 91 use the same adapter and bolt. I do not have a lathe to make this adapter. It would be easy out a a piece of hexagon brass stock.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get this jets in the air. The original byron fans are damaged.

Thanks,
DW_Crash

I think I know which nut.. anyway you can post a pic? (might be able to help you out)


Is there any place to buy a hurricane fan anymore? Like to get one for my byron BD-5.

you can buy huricane fans and parts on the shelf at your favorite lhs, right next to the hen's teeth...LOL good luck on finding parts with out making them. i have been looking for them for quite a while now with very little sucess...

Well.. only problem I have is that my local hobbyshops dont carry any ducted fan/jet parts. I need any parts I have to order online.

Gents,

The nut looks like the attached picture. It is .950" long with a .250" nut part. The nut part is 0.500" flat face to face. Shaft is 0.4". The bolt is a 1 inch bolt. It is threaded the same as the OS 91. I believe it is 1/4" by 24.

I like to thank a buddy for taking the pic and measurements of his fan adapter.

Hello fellow modellers,

Anyone have a lathe and could make a couple adapters?

Hello gents,

I stand corrected. The OS website says that the threads are 5/16" by 24.

This is probably late but if anyone needs help, parts or support for the Hurricane Fans let me know and I will put you in touch with the owner.

FYI

Yeah, Wayne is a good guy and he has been involved in DF for many years. The aluminum hub and Aluminum bearings makes a HUGE difference-

Cheers!

I didn't see the prices for the blades?

New aluminum bushing $ 7.00

New hub $65.00

New spinner $25.00

Blade repair $50.00

New Byron replacement Impeller $100.00

Shop time for custom work $65.00 an hr.

Ah..Ok....I still don't see where it says "BLADES"
