No no... It's built from the basic parts like 6-hole small technic
pulleys, 1/2 pins and regular plates. This simple design dated from
early 1980's, there was no such propellers exist at that time. Look at
the picture
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2081 for a fuzzy and
blurry picture. It's tail rotor of the helicopter
Actually, I think it could be converted to a 6-blade one by the help of
newly introduced rounded-end 1x5 plates with axle hole (new versions of
the old 2-blade technic rotor, with holes and teeth removed) but I think
yours is much more sturdy, although thicker.

That is an blurry picture indeed! It's impossible for me to make
things out of it... Dang...

Well, the thickness should not be a problem. The propeller blade will
have a length of 96mm or 12 studs, that's the radius for the prop
folks ;)
Well see monday if I made something up, won't check in here 'til then!
CU!
