Guest FlashWayne Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The TST Thruster I have has a 503 engine with a 2-bladed wooden prop fitted. I would like to fit a 3-bladed composite prop instead. Can someone please suggest which brand and size I should be looking for? Thanks :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastmeg2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi Wayne, There is a Thruster Support area of this site that you should look into. You will need to know your gearbox reduction ratio and which props are certified for Thrusters.

Barefootpilot Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Brolga prop is what usually goes on it... but after that I'm of no help as I have a 582 on mine. Maybe someone else with a Thruster can help you as I know Tony isn't getting to close to a computer at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefootpilot Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That would work well with the thruster as its a constant speed aircraft.... slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlashWayne Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ex-C206 3 blader Hi Maj. Millard. I'll rephrase that last one. How would the ex-C206 3 blader go with the 503 on a Thruster? Cheers, Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
