A place to start is to determine what prop you have now. You said its a 53 diameter but what pitch? I have a prop for sale which is a 54 diamater 52 pitch which is probably too much for a 1835 VW. If you would like to see how this prop is marled go to http://jackskr2.webstarts.com/ . In this case it is marked on the side of the hub but I think others are marked on the face of the hub and would require removing to determine the pitch.

It's a 53" prop, on an 1835 (presumably HAPI) VW. 1) Is repairing such a crack safe/economical, and if so, how does one go about doing it? 2) What is the 'normal' range of prop dimensions for a KR-2 with an 1835? Eg, how do I determine what to replace this prop with, if fixing it is out the window? _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
