Im in need of a propeller for the #60 spline shaft.
I have been doing a project with this engine for the WW2 commemorative and will run this engine on a truck at local events. I have been all over the web and there is almost no help in finding a prop. It does not need to be air worthy and will be cut down for ground operation.
Any help or leads will be awesome.

I would get in contact with the guys at the old Hawkins & Powers facility in Greybull, Wyo.

Call the CAF

They have a B29 flying and I'm sure they can point you to a prop or 2 they can't use.

ETA: former member oldcatdriver is one of the pilots for FiFi.. bummer he got banned.

You got connections there?
I worked for them for a couple of years right out of A&P School back in the early '80s.

Used too. My multi instructor was Sean Sheble, one of their pilots... Who ended up dying in an MD-11 crash in China. That guy had a great philosophy for recip training compared to most instructors.
