If you cast me one as well you get the file
Agreed, I’ll find out the price tomorrow.
Hi, I’m also interested. Is it possible to get a two blade propeller too?
Depends on your offer.
Just kidding, check your inbox
A good price for 20 two-blade prop
He is busy @ the moment, in autumn he will have time: Fr 2019 motor system - #588 by Flying_Rodeo - Propulsion System (Motor, Gears) - FOIL.zone
What is the size & pitch of the cast propeller ? Is shipping to Australia an option that you would be up for?
Or would anyone be prepared to share a 3D file for a propeller that has been optimised for cast metal ?
Many Thanks,
Alex
Hi Alex, regarding casting and sending to Australia, you need to direct questions to the company contact is: Info@Macho-Tech.cz I’m just a broker. As for the dimensions of the propeller, I don’t know you, I don’t even have a 3D printer - it was probably drawn by one of the guys on this forum. So maybe they’ll write you the dimensions.
Thanks for the reply. I am finding it difficult getting a quality propeller. I have turned down a ebay propeller but as soon as I did I found the ID of the propeller was over size so instantly unbalanced so will have to press in a bush. My problem is workshop time is limited. I will contact “Macho-Tech.cz” Thanks !

Hello Alex,
Yes our company cast some propellers from alluminium.
The price for one casted propeller diameter 120mm was 100€ (it was only casted). If you want propeller grounded, polished and ballanced, it is 100€ more.
About shipping to Australia i will check the price today. So, the price is for one propeller, we have sale for 5 and more pieces, the sale is 10%.
The production takes about one month from order.
Best Regards

Think I will just have a few plastic props printed & insert a bush into the other propeller I have. Then I will order from FR when he has some time again. One month is to long.
He also wrote me a 100 euro apiece. There is a high scrap rate during production. Only every third casting needs to be done. I will take one and clean and balance myself.
That is pricey. Maybe printing and glassing with epoxy is the better option
guys and how much does the propeller from FR cost the one that fits the Flipsky engine?
Regarding cost of a FR product that is proven, tested & produced by CNC vs a unproven casting with no specifications it cost more … Lots more
Why is a unproven casting cost being compared to the cost of a well engineered product?
I’m not comparing, I just wanted to know the price
because I need a good propeller for this summer:wink:FR propellers are now unavailable
I don’t know the price of the FR propeller and I don’t even know that it is milled with CNC, I mistakenly thought that it was also a casting.
I have one for 300€
You also have this CNCed + balanced + optimised prop from Russia a bit similar to FR.
Here is a prop for this motor. I am not sure how it compares to the FR one, but it might be available and might be good. HELICE
