Title: prop adapter
Post by: Fred Quedenfeld jr on September 06, 2022, 09:28:50 AM

Do they make a prop adapter for a brushless motor with 5 mm shaft    that is held in place with a set screw  and has a 1/4 x 28 thread for the prop

For a motor big enough to have a 5mm shaft, wouldn't a collet type prop adapter center better and hold better?

Many places to buy prop adaptors.  As stated probably need a collet style.

I used one once and as I recall I could only find one. E-flite - EFLM1932

I much prefer the collet style and they seem to run more true.
