WWII Zoar props, no size printed

[Firefly]

Hi,



I bought a used P-40 and it has a WWII round tip prop on it, and I would like to order a spare, I can not tell what the pitch is, it measures 20" long and only has a stamp on center back an 'X' and a 'O A' It possibly had another stamp where the drill hole are.

I hope someone can tell me , is this a 20x10? it looks exactly as the following:

Cindy,



There are four pitch options for a 20" WWII Xoar prop

What engine is it?



You could try calling Bob's Hobby Center in Orlando, they're the US distributor for Xoar props and the guys behind the counter will usually help a lot with propeller questions. If you can measure the thickness of the hub they might be able to tell which pitch it is my measuring props they have in stock as the hubs are usually different thicknesses for each pitch.

Hope that helps.



Sorry I didn't get back to you about NEAT, I guess you didn't drive out Saturday with the bad weather that was forecasted? Are you guys planning to make it to the jet event in Hamburg in October?

it's a DLE-55 engine on a Skyshark P-40N , 82" wingspan, 25 lbs. Prop's hub is 13/16" thick.



I didn't go to NEAT fair, I went up to my parents place Friday night which was 20 min north from NEAT and intended to go but it was too wet and cold.

one thing I don't like about Neat, the campground charges spectators $8 per person each day even if you come late Friday just for one hour. Friday night is usually the best night flying.



not sure about the Hamburg Jet event yet. If I get my hands on a decent camera I might come just to watch and take pictures.

judging from what the DLE site calls for, 20" probably isn't big enough for it.....or am i reading that wrong?

you didn't miss much Friday night, it got cold as soon as the sun went down and the flying was over almost as quickly as it began. I wish I had more flexibility in my schedule so I could have worked around the weather but it just is what it is and i'll have to try again next year.
