Wooden Props

[Brett]

Would anyone be able to tell me if there are any Australian wooden prop manufacturers these days. Ones that make custom orders specifically.

There's a good one in Christchurch. That's close to Australia. Nev

One of the most respected propellor makers in Oz for years was Richard Sweetapple in SEQ? I'm advised that he has recently seriously retired (he tried a couple of times but I recall the market wouldn't let him) and has sold the prop fabrication operation but I don't know to whom. Perhaps other Forumites may be able to steer you unto the new operators. Failing that, try Arthur Marcel <<[email protected]>> who may have knowledge of the new owners. Happy hunting. cheers Riley

Gday Riley, actually I do have a sweetapple prop but it's for a sonex :) looking forward to trying it out as well.

 

Hi, Facthunter, you're right it is pretty close and the postage is cheap but I have two already from New Zealand for my current plane. Chasing a 3rd and really hoping the last.
