E-Flite X-VERT standard prop mount

thingiverse

Mount any standard 5 inch prop to your Horizon Hobby Eflite X-Vert VTOL wing. Stop buying those over priced, flimsy factory props :) Mount one spacer behind the prop closer to the motor, then install prop, then install the outside spacer with smaller hole on the remaining motor shaft (see image). If your props are a different thickness simply adjust thickness when slicing. These spacers work perfect with the DALPROPs I used. Your spacers and prop together on the shaft should be just slightly longer than the shaft or the prop will spin under load. The assembly should be nice and tight to grip the prop. Standard props are 5x3!! I used DALPROP 5045 multi rotor 2 blade props. These give a lot more punch and draw more power so I installed a heat sink on the MOSFETS of the control board. I recommend you do the same if you run anything bigger than 5x3 Motor temp are cool so think the speed controllers are the weak point, motors are fine. Enjoy
