XAircraft What other props for X650 motors? I bought some I thought would fit...

[Jesper]

In a previos thread I got a reply to buy Graupner el. props 10x5 as they have 8mm center hole and those would fit the original X650 motors, but they dont!
I also bought some with 6mm and a 8mm prop reamer, but then that didn't work either

Are there eny alternative props fitting directly on the square like motor mounts? And what are the center diameter on these props?

I think they are 9mm. I bought specially made APC 1047 from XaircraftUSA.com. These are not keyed and require the use of an included washer, but they work great. Regular APC props won't work, you need the ones from XaircraftUSA

The size is oddball, something like 8.18mm. I've put regular apc's on mine before. You ream them to 8mm first, then open them up just a bit more by hand with sandpaper or a fine file. worked great for me.

Hi Kilby:

I just measured mine with a very good micrometer, and the round (larger part) is definitely 9mm on my motors. Did you use a washer at the base?
