ASP180 4 stroke Prop Dilemma

Hi Phil,

What's the plane? Maybe I'm putting two and two together and coming up with 42 but could it possibly have a canard?

You could be right there and if it has it will probably sit in the roof archive till doomsday. And all for a prop. The 160s' that I have seen have got 3 blade props but maybe 15 x 3 x 7

I take it you've looked at the Master Air Screw range:
www.masterairscrew.com/collections/3-bla...propeller-rev-pusher

Sussex and Wheel Spin both sell the make, maybe they would be willing to add on the pusher in their next order?

I think I may have got it sorted. Back to Master Airscrew's page and have ordered 3 blade pushers, 2 x 16 inch props and a 15. Grand total $52.37 (£43.93) Free shipping via DHL. See what happens. I won't start fitting the engine till I have the props in my grubby mitts.

Three blade props are here now in East Midlands Air cargo DHL hub. Came via Mather Airport, Sacramento, Cincinnatti. I then get a call from DHL. Import duties imposed! What? On toy parts? Yes. They are valued at over £34. Not their fault but OUR Customs. Ruddy bandits. £19.00 duty and VAT. I replied that I get stuff from China and don't get stuffed usually.

On balance though it still worked out about the same buying from a model shop here (if they kept them in stock).

So, up yours to our special relationship with the USA (may get worse when Trump Head takes over) Trade deals need sorting!

Mind you if Dave B (procurement division) had called me just 24 hours earlier I would have saved over £19. :evil:

Could have been a bigger rip-off , our company imported loads of plastic components
from the States.
Customs added the freight cost to the goods & charged duty on the total then charged
VAT on this total.
