Propeller 101
Thanks for advice Haverlock. Had picked up on the left-hand / right-hand thing but the tip about a locknut is very useful. Probably saves on a bit of wading as well as preventing a lost prop!

Do not forget to specify right or left handed
the thread is the same but the direction of rotation is different and please do remember to fit a locknut ( and use locktite) so your new prop doesn't join the rest of the lost bits on the bottom of the pond

Hi all, I would really appreciate some (basic) help with selecting a new propeller.
The white metal item I got in my CORDENE kit is, well, a bit lumpy. I could spend time and effort sanding and filling it but would then be worried about its durability as I hope to sail the model when complete. The solution of choice is to buy a brass replacement - but unsure about measurements. So (for argument's sake) say I bought a 30mm propeller: which of the three dimensions (A, B or C) in the attached diagram would be the "30mm" specified for the item I'd bought?
