Size of Vliestroom props
« on: December 27, 2009, 05:35:53 pm »
What are the diameter of the supplied props on the Vliestroom? I'm looking at different korts for it.

Thanks. I don't care for the supplied korts and was thinking about getting the Robbes.

I had the same problem as you - the white metal shafts on the Kort nozzles are elliptical, although the nozzles themselves are not too bad.
I have not been able to find any others which are the correct size though, so I have stuck with the originals.
I have filed down the shafts to fit inside a 5 mm brass tube and glued them with epoxy.
The 5 mm tube is a nice sliding fit inside a 6 mm brass tube which I have epoxied into the original drilled out plastic hull tubes supplied.
This has worked fine and I am quite satisfied with the result, especially as I have also replaced the tatty white metal rudder arms with home made brass ones.

Hope this helps,

Geoff
