poz Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Does anyone know of a product to protect your propeller from being ground away by sand when launching from a sandy beach. Or is it ok to use something like duck tape on the leading edge? Would it effect performance? I saw a carbon fibre prop yesterday with only 30 minutes use off a sandy beach. Let's just say the prop was no longer new It seems that as you run you kick up sand behind you, straight into the prop. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paramotormike Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The Prop-er stuff would be some prop-priety prop-wash, and prop-agate over the props at a suitable prop-erty. Thats my prop-osition! Or is it all prop-aganda? OK enough already! Done to death now. LOL Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
