Wow, how did I miss this build? I really like the effort you put into the jig for alingning the prop shafts! 3D printed propellers are also a big upgrade to injection mouldet parts. I struggled quiet a bit till I got the shape on my New Jersey propellers right. Which software do you use to design yours?

Ah ok. Thanks! Only after finishing the props for New Jersey I found out, that there are free tools online, which can genrate you CAD models of props. Might be a good starting point for the next project. Altough modern navy propellers have very comlicated shapes, that are not covered by this generator: wageningen-b-series-propeller.com/
