anyone want to buy a handful of out of package 8x8 props?

I have a batch for local races that haven't been used up, not sure what I'll do with them now. Not sure how many I have, but it's quite a few.

And happy leftovers to all! Got to take my 9 year old grandson flying for a while Thursday afternoon. We do n t get to go out much, he lives a few hours away, but seems to enjoy it when we do get a chance!

Happy holidays to all

Hope that helps broaden your search a bit. While #3-56 aren't nearly as common as the #2-56 are, they do exist. My SS Nelsons are set up with front mount needle valves, so if I ever drop them on a plane for anything I'll probably be doing the 3-56 screws and remote needles as well. Cheers, Gordon

#3-56 aren't the most common screws out there, but they do exist.

Hope that helps broaden your search a bit, as the older engines like the short strokes tended to have the front mounted needle valves. At least my SS Nelsons do.

for what it's worth, you can remove the needle valve and the friction nut from the standard needle valve, and use a short 3-56 screw with some blue locktite on it to seal up the NV threads, and you have a spraybar compatible with a remote needle.

Is this a Paul's Flying Stuff kit? I had one of those many years ago.

Tom, thanks again for keeping us updated, and please pass along my wishes for a quick recovery!

Stay in touch with Duane and Craig - they'll be your best resources for finding folks in the area.

I never got the email.

Just let me know, and thanks!

I'd like to purchase these. Shipping would be to zip 66071. No need for any expedited shipping. Lately I've been using Pirateship.com and getting great discounted rates with USPS and UPS from them.

Dan - superb craftsmanship! The plane looks great!

Chuck, thanks for doing this!

Thanks for the update, Tom! Give him our best,

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery! Thanks for the heads up, look forward to more discussions of "vintage" race planes with him.
