    I'm in the same boat. I have 9 raw props I need sharpened and balanced before I go to the FE Nats 2013. I was referred to Mark Sholund but he responded that he is behind and cannot help me before the June 5th thru 8th Nats.

    Who can I ship props to help me out also.

    Thanks, Allen

    These guys do S & B... http://www.funrcboats.com/Services.aspx - prices are bout on par with what others charge.

    Don't know what they're lead time frame is, you'll have to give them a call, one of the few places that actually answer's the phone when you call.

    Hope that helps you out.

    Nice anvil - can you change the angle on the prop?

    Its a cupping tool i made . This anvil will increase the props tip's pitch angle yes . In my mind any ways:) . This is the final step after you get it s.b.t.r+p :). What this will achieve , 3-5 M.P.H. on a finely tuned prop . By doing this it will finely tune your thrust cone .

    Chris has done many props for me over the years, I was a Nitro / Gas jockey for over 15 years, sold all my gear 4 years ago, Just started up again, FE and now that I found out he's still B/S/P props, he's going to be doing all my FE props and I couldn't be happier.

    Yup, 3/16 shafts I spot welded to mine. Kinda a pain to get the exact same angle for left n right props. Tweak the props and lets see um :)

    Looks like some very nice tools you have made there Savage Skido

    So are you going to be tooling and S&B props for other,
    Or is this stuff just for your own use ?

    I may be looking to get some done up in the future.
