Title: Needed: Tornado 6x3 3 blade props
Post by: Larry Renger on June 10, 2017, 06:35:50 PM

I just finished breaking in a Medallion .049 for my Sky Sport stunter. The Tornado 3 blade 6x3 hits the rpm target I want. Sadly, I only have one of them.  :'(

Anyone have a source or some to sell?  H^^

The engine has a TD piston and cylinder and extra fin plug retainer for Merlin plugs. It turned the 5x3 at 18,000 and the 6x3 at just over 15,000. 15k is where I want to be.

Hi there Larry. I will take a peek tomorrow afternoon for you. I may have one somewhere.

Sorry Larry. Just had a chance to look and I do not have what you are looking for. I had honestly thought I did, but apparently I was thinking of something else.

I also looked through my stash but NO 3 BLADE Tornado versions and I want to keep all my low count 2 blade Tornado's

since my dwindling stock of TF Nylon 1/2a props are getting too old to use safely

I would dearly love someone to re man the Tornado 2 AND 3 blade 6x3

I killed my one example, but it pulled a heavy Lil Satan and Tee Dee the best of any prop I tried

I wonder if the tooling still exists, and where it is.  ???
