Dohrm,

Thanks. I thought it would work and have seen it on a few planes. I just thought using the prop hanger allows easy prop changes and I can evaluate the differences.

Paul, the flat plate props will work well. That is what is used on a Hangar Rat. I just sand away a flat on one of the points of a piece of 1/8 spar material, and glue the flat blade to it. It should work fine on a prop hanger like you mentioned. Go for it.

  Hi all,

  Someone suggested simple flat plat props. I would assume this is 1/32 balsa. Is the pitch 45% and blades 90% to each other? Is there any reason this would not work on a AMA Cub prop hanger? I am considering trying this. If I use the AMA Cub prop hanger it is a simple take one off and replace it with the next one. Even though I do think my balsa prop will be lighter, I can add weight so each prop assemply weighs the same for trim purposes so I can see if I see a difference in the props themselves.
