I designed and built bolt-together 6061 T-6 aluminum pieces that far exceed the min strength required, and take a couple of evenings to make out of flat and angle stock. Haven't done up proper set of drawings, but have plenty of digital photos if you'd like. Dave I would really like to se some pictures. Thanks Les ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:56:11 AM PST US From: "DJ Vegh" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: propeller for A65 - TN Propellers mine is a Tennessee Prop. Unbelievable quality. They use 1/16" laminations where others use 1/2" or 3/8" I ended up with a 48 lamination prop (3" thick at the hub). This makes for a very strong and stiff prop. They also give you the option of a clear Urethane leading edge. They will make any diameter, pitch or rotation you want in about 2 weeks... many sizes are in stock. Total cost was about $500 shipped. www.tn-prop.com DJ Vegh N74DV Mesa, AZ www.imagedv.com/aircamper - ----- Original Message ----- From: Carbarvo@aol.com To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 6:12 AM Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: propeller for A65 If I needed a wooden propeller, I "wood" check with Tennessee Propellers.
