Fly_mow Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Anyone got any secrets on the best place to get a prop for a pap ros 125. It's 115cm carbon fibre for a 1250 cage. Sky dragons are quoting £325. Before I part with that much dough I just want to make sure that's the going rate. Thanks peeps. Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo200500 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Stu, have you had a look on Helix.de website. They seem to make most of the common carbon spinners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly_mow Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ye my dad is the reason I got the paramotor as I couldn't afford it on my own. The deal was I learnt to fly then at each him so he could just experience it. Every thing went to plan then he lost his footing while running under power and hey ho new prop! Is the prop something that can be "upgraded" in terms of performance or is it a standard thing that must not be played with. I know there is a fine balance between motor and prop but didn't know how fine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have bought good quality wooden props from these people. It's an Italian site, but if you write in English they will respond in English. http://www.propellers.it/default.asp Good luck, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly_mow Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 coolio. Thanks for the help peeps. So is the prop a one type only job or can they be "tinkered" with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfergus Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That looks repairable. I got a guy near me does repairs for £20 a throw & can't fault him. Get it repaired & have it as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_mow Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Definatly worth a look. The tips are repairable I think but it's the crack across the middle I'm worried about. Might just be the gel coat but could be deeper. Needs a trained eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
