Prop Reaming
Ok guys I need some advice on reaming my prop. My motor has a 6mm shaft and came with a prop adapter for 9mm props. But it doesn't look like apc props can be drilled for 9mm. At least it isn't recommended. Plus I can't find a 9mm bit and all prop reamers seem to be 8 to 10mm.
So I ordered a 6mm to 5/16x24 collet adapter and a standard size prop reamer that does 5/16. Should I be set? What does the 24 mean on the collet? Here it is: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMWK9&P=7 Thanks... and sorry for the newbie question but I need to get this plane in the air, tired of needing little odds and ends. |

Re: Prop Reaming
24 is the number of threads per inch. It looks like you are set!

Re: Prop Reaming
Great planes does as well but they are on backorder and it doesn't do 9mm. FOX doesn't list what it does. Do you know?

Re: Prop Reaming
The reason GP' s are on back order is because they are made for them by Fox. And yes they do do 9mm, call the order number and make sure but I do think they do.
