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3-blade configuration (designed around 1981-2, which is obsolete now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 inspiring to go ahead.

Look at the 3-blade propellers of:

I hope these would help.

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,

Ok, I got it working. It was simple when I tried :)

I now see what you mean and I'll look into it over the weekend!

Thanks!

Sincerely,
