Take a long, stiff strip of metal, around 9" long (an old hacksaw blade is perfect) and weld onto the end a stud made up of a bolt end the same size as the prop stud, with maybe three full threads remaining. > Now spin on your nut and you should have enough room to offer the whole assembly up to the prop stud.

Brilliant solution Mark, we got it on and it all balanced out to 0.05 IPS, smooth like butter, getting it all put back together with new cockpit, landing/taxi and nav/pos/strobe LED's, should test fly later this week.

The owner would like to keep the plane original if possible. Let me know if you have one you'd part with.

If you are a watch shooter, proceed with the CJ purchase. If you want a great aerobatic mount, go with the Yak. Check out this video.
