    Yes/No?

    Falcon props use a foam and balsa core to prevent howling at high RPM. I would just re-drill and use, I've seen some swiss cheese prop hubs before that work fine.

    K&B 7.5 ducted fan

    Silly question. I acquired one of these. Does your carburetor have a rotating assembly in it like regular glow carbs normally do for throttle? Mine seems to be frozen. BTW this one is for sale. I have a complete fan for it too if anyone is interested, motor makes good compression.
