tomarnold Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I managed my first faceplant this morning. Nil wind forward launch on slippy mud. Hurt my nose and my prop! I've never damaged a prop before, so I don't know if this is a case for repair or replacement? If it is repairable, is it a diy job or are there people out there who repair props? If it needs replacing, does anybody know if it's possible to buy props for Rad Arrows that aren't £320 (that's how much Rad sell their carbon props for)?

tomarnold Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Well, I went for a little fly this evening for half an hour at sunset, and my repaired prop (I repaired it using two-part epoxy using the Danny Weston method on Youtube and then balanced it with black spraypaint) and it worked fine. Hooray. So I'm going to keep it as a spare as soon as my shiny new D&T prop arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintail120 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Remember by replacing the missing bit on the end with a lump of resin the CG will now be out even tho you balance it again. Both props should balance at the same point on each blade(that's if the prop comes apart) Cheers Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
