Posted by Simon Chaddock on 01/07/2020 19:15:11: simon w Just out of curiosity I looked on ebay for those 10 times 8x6 and they should do fine. Do make sure the prop is a good close fit on the motor shaft using the correct bush included with them. Remember a prop blade is twisted at a different angle along its length, shallow at the tip but near the root the shape is set by the loads generated when it is working. The vast majority of the thrust is created by the outer 2/3 of the blade. The bit near the root contributes almost no thrust but it does stop the outer part flying off. thanks for the reply, ok cheers m8, depending on how good i get at flying it im pretty sure my props could out last my plane hahaha only time will tell !!

Posted by Andy48 on 30/06/2020 18:05:04: 26p a propeller is awfully cheap. I would expect to pay at least £1-2 each for them. You might find the ones you have got are very flimsy, and not very safe. thanks for your reply, the new props feel just as flexible as the original.

thank you for your reply Nigel, ok cool, at least i haven't got worry about braking props for a long time now then lol.

hello there im new to the forum and RC planes etc, i have a park flite Cessna 182 skylane and fitted a Quanum gyro flight stabilization thing on to it, lol now i tried fly it the other day and crashed it and broke my prop, {this was during take off lmao, i not actually flown it right yet}. the sizes on the prop say 8x6 and 203x152 so i put them sizes in to ebay and ordered a selection of different coloured props. they have all been delivered and it seems they are all different angles close to the bolting hole, i thought the 8 was the length of the prop tip to tip and the 6 was the angle, so my question is why do they all look at different angles but are all 8x6 ??? and another thing i read the ad for some props on ebay and didnt see the 10pcs for £2.65 i thought it was for 1 prop so ordered 5 , i now have 50 props that dont look right compared to the original lmao
