mike1714 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have a spare prop that I have repaired and balanced following a 'crap' landing !!! My question is.............. How does one store the propeller? Vertical or horizontal? I have it wrapped in bubble wrap (what the replacement prop came in) and it is currently stored horizontally on a shelf in the garage. Worried about warping, if any? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Definitely keep then horizontal, keeps them balanced if there is any moisture on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_P Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The reason to store wood props horizontally, is it stops any moisture contained within the wood from migrating downward. Flat as well as horizontal is best, away from direct heat that might cause warping. Glass or carbon fibre are impervious in this respect, so tuck them away any which way :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
