Need help on finding props

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

A customer brough me a model to upgrade to R/C. The model was built for static display but now I’m trying to convert it to R/C for the customer. Here is the problem, the original modeler installed 5/32" diameter shafts in the model with the appro. sized bushing tubes. The static props are a soft white metal type. I need to find 1" minimum (better if it is 1 1/4")diameter props but they need to fit onto the 5/32nd. shaft. Hard metal brass or steel. Does anyone know of a place / source in US, Canada or ever over seas? I can’t seem to find them.

Thanks

Jake

if can’t find than why not make them out of brass sheet.

That’s close to 4mm, or a M4 thread on some props. Check out Loyalhanna Dockyard, they have a good selection of props, couplers and motors.

That’s Al Matava, and he’s great to deal with.

There’s also the Prop Shop in England…
