I building Model Slipways "Maggie M" and going to replacie the white metal prop with a brass one.
I'm wondering  whether to go for a four blade while I'm at it, for a bit more pulling power, the present one is three.
I'm going to use a Graupner 7200 BB....... the prop is 50mm.

Any advice ????

I would go for the four bladed prop and also make sure that it is a prop designed for a Kort nozzle i.e. with square ends to the blades not a turbine type that has rounded tips.  ATB  George

Have you tried MSW they supplied the 4 blade brass props for my Al Khubar ?

By the way are you the one that just beat me to the kit on E'bay ?

[funtimefrankie]

No! I had already bought from Westbourne when that came up..
Who's MSW?

Sorry, Model Slipways.

With a bit of luck Santa will bring me a prop, via my daughter and G Sitek
