Which prop for Thruster with 503 engine?

[Guest FlashWayne]

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:

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.

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.

Adam, I've got a spare ex-C206 3 blader here if you want to try it !! constant speed too !!.................................................................................................:rilla:

That would work well with the thruster as its a constant speed aircraft.... slow!

Brolga prop

 

To: Maj. Millard. Hi. The gearbox on my TST is 2.58 5T. How much are you looking at for the Brolga prop?

Hi Maj. Millard. I'll rephrase that last one. How would the ex-C206 3 blader go with the 503 on a Thruster?

 

Cheers,
