LOOKING for SP140 Bi-blade prop 140cm

Does anyone have a damaged 1/2 , from the 140cm , SP140 Bi-Blade prop

that they would consider selling ? I don’t need the both sides of the propeller

I need to make a different hub that will accommodate a folding prop

for my rigid wing Atos glider ; so where the prop now bolts to the hub

will need to be molded in a different way, I’m really good at molding

and fabricating carbon parts.

Thanks : Bille

hello, no damaged blade for sale, but for what I know, blades should be paired. Quote e-props website : “Never fly with an E-PROPS propeller if the blades are not paired.“ (E-PROPS: the best Propellers for Paramotors PPG, hi-tech & ultra-light)

The blade “Will” be paired ; paired to another blade that’s made from the same

mold with a different Hub arraignment modified for a Folding Prop. Appariently

I didn’t do a very good job of explaining in the OP. :frowning:

In the end both blades will be mass balanced for center of rotation , and

will weigh exactly the same when done ; That is not easy to do unless

your trained to do so , and I know how to do it.

Thanks for your concern ; you made a valad and Very Important point !!!

I will not sell this modified blade ; someone wants one then they will

need to come make their own from my mold. You will need to be familiar

with the use of composites , and prove it to me ; before ya start building

your blades.

hi, when I see on the e-props website that the same mold provide blades with differences in weight and need proper evaluation to check balance, it’s good that you can do it on your own.

Yes and the difference can be the epoxy content , or fiber count ; just 1g

can make a noticeable difference as you run up through different rpm’s.

When you change the weight from fixing a stone chip in a blade for instance ; both

blades should be rebalanced , and if there not then it puts extra stress on the motor

shaft.

How will this hub look like?

Here is an Explorer hub. Not my idea of optimum.

That one looks easy to build , (Thanks) !!!

I was going to copy a folder off a powered hang gliding harness , and I also have a budy who has one on a sailplane ; but it’s made kinda over-Kill. That propeller end is exactly what I had in mind ; wrapping tuns of Uni around a Brass bushing.
