I have the newer version of the prop with the dual bearings. They
lasted for a bit more than 600h. The pushrod got bent and damaged from
spinning around, so it is no longer possible to see exactly what the
design looked like. I would like to go with a proper thrust bearing,
if I can make it fit this version.
Any photos would be great, send them directly to me at
paqs345@gmail.com if the attachments to the group don't work.
Thanks for everyone's input.

Sonja,
The only real bearing fix is to use a true thrust bearing. I will try to fi
nd the photos I made of the modified push rod and bearing cup. It is actual
ly very easy to do. I have hundreds of hours on the same bearing. Use a INA
DL12 bearing.
Barry, did I send any pics to you that you can send to Sonja?
