wallboy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Just bought a Paramotor with slight damage to the prop and was wondering if I could save it or if I need to bin it. The one side has been repaired with some form of glue, has a hairline crack and been cut and sanded smooth on the one edge The other side has a slightly worse slit and has also been cut and sanded smooth on the one edge. The previous seller told me he flew it like it was but im a little unsure if the prop will eventually shatter in flight so could I inject the hairline cracks with a form of Epoxy to bond it back together, re-epoxy the bad repair and balance it Would this work until I can get another?

AdEves Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I wouldn't take the chance and run that near anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 100% do not fly with it or even fire it up. The out of balance 'ness' will shake your motor to bits. is about the best outcome I can think of. (there are many worse ones) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallboy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I am not that brave to fly with it in its current state but could I inject Epoxy in the hairline slits to bond it back together, re-epoxy the one tip and balance it properly? Or just turn it into a wall clock lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallboy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I have no idea. Not too sure why the edges have been hacked away and sanded smooth, they are not even identical to each other. Same because it looks a lovely prop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
