Custom made, Moulded Delrin prop adapters for our Mighty Midget line of brushless motors
These collet type, custom made, moulded Delrin prop adapters are perfect for our motors. They come in 2 types; one suited for the larger bore (4mm) GWS 5*3 props, and the other for the smaller bore (3mm) GWS 6*3 and 7*3.5 props.
Installing the prop adapter
These prop adapters are very easy to use, just follow these steps for usage:
Step 1:
Parts involved during assembly: The nut, a washer, and the moulded adapter
Step 2:
Insert collet into prop bore. Make sure that the collet end of the adapter faces the motor bell. Make sure that the collet Hex aligns with the hex on the prop bore
Step 3: Incorrect:
Incorrect installation, hex not aligned with hex in prop bore
Step 5:
Thread the plastic nut onto the adapter, DO NOT tighten yet. Note the gap between the collet hex and the prop hex, this is VERY important for proper functioning of the adapter. This gap keeps the collet open, so it’s easy to slip onto the shaft.
Step 4:
Place washer onto adapter
Step 5:
Insert collet into prop bore. Make sure that the collet end of the adapter faces the motor bell. Make sure that the collet Hex aligns with the hex on the prop bore
Step 6:
Push the prop assembly onto the shaft as shown. Hold the prop and push using the nut, this way, the collet remains open.
Step 7:
Tighten the nut. DO NOT over tighten or the threads can strip. Tighten until the adapter hex completely engages with the prop hex.
Step 8:
You are done! Now go fly your plane!
These prop adapters are very easy to use, just follow these steps for usage:
Step 1:
Loosen the nut on the adapter and pull the prop outwards gently. When the prop comes back, the collet opens and the entire assembly just slides out.
Step 2:
Prop has been pulled back, note gap between prop and adapter hex keeping the collet open.
