Hi - How do I attach a propellor to an electric motor. The instructions (and pics) with the kit are more than a little vague.

Regards

On an electric you have a prop adaptor.This is a compressed fit.It slides onto the motor shaft and as the nut is tightened to hold the prop., it also tightens the adaptor to the shaft.Some smaller ones have a grub screw,but the majority fit this way.

Some motors are supplied with a allen screwed adaptor which is screwed to the motor body and leaves you with a shaft that the prop fits on to with a nut and washer. A picture would help, as there are 2 methods.

Also, may I welcome you to our forum. Have fun, we do.
