Hi!
I'm currently working on an aircraft in Technic and I need help to
construct an propeller. The model I'm copying uses a propeller with
six "blades" (are they perhaps named rotors?).
I figured that I can use the medium pulley wheel as base to mount the
blades on since it's the only piece known to me that has holes mounted
with 60 degrees difference (eg. 6 holes in a circle).
But how do I make the blades fixed in the right 60 degree position?
Is there a better way? I can mount three half-beams across the pulley
wheel but it will make the blades "offset" to each other and a
solution for this will look plain stupid, IMHO. Perhaps I can "fake"
the solution all around so it looks like it how it should be? Hey,
writing your problems down help :)
I tried to make one with four blades but I wasn't happy with that
design either.
Ideas? Suggestions? They're all welcome :)
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Greetings from Sweden,

| Well ... If you don't mind some small sticking-out bits, perhaps the 1/2 bushings and the steering arm piece with one hole at each end and the studs in between, plus some small 2 or 3 long axles would do the trick? That is the only thing I can think (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

| I can't figure out right know if it is possible or not, but there is a 3-blade configuration (designed around 1981-2, which is obsolete now since the 3-Blade technic rotor part have been introduced) which can be a starting point or at least (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

| Tobbe, You could possibly use 2 of the Technic 3 bladed rotor parts, rotated 180 degrees from each other. This gives 6 blades, but 3 of them are set back 1 plate's depth. You could possibly build them up a bit to be even. The Technique 3 blade rotor (...) (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

| Thanks all! I'll answer you one by one. Geoffrey, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean *blush*. Are you refering to the 1x4 plate with a hole in each end with "notches" around the hole and some half-bushings? This solution would make the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
