Guest Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 PeteB may be able to do a wooden one for you. Do you have two sets of holes in your hub? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW No Simon i have 2 different hubs ... with different pulleys for the ratio. I brought it off Ivan from Parajet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi Carl, I think your other pulley will be for a 3 blade prop (needs a different ratio). I run a two blade prop (wooden) and I use smaller bolts, you use the large bolt holes currently. My driven pulley has two sets of holes, the large ones like you have and smaller (spaced 50mm apart) which I use. The wooden props use the smaller holes. The newer pulleys (which you may have) might not have the smaller holes. If you do have the smaller holes and can accept a wooden prop the Pete B should be the first point of call. I (like you) broke a prop very early on and Pete's shelf was bare. I bought from born propellors, sold as balanced but I needed Pete to re-balance. Hope this is of some help. Nice motor by the way!

Hi Stuart I'm not at home with the motor to look now but will have a look when i get back. Yeah my other driven pulley is for the three blade prop.. Im not too sure if i have the new pulley i hope i have the old to be honest so i can at least choose to have a wooden prop. Thanks for the advice mights see you around if your going ukppg weekend.
