I am building a vacuform kit- Rareplanes Curtis XFM-1. The kit is
fine except for the props- a common problem with vacuform. It would
take a LOT of careful work to make the kit props work.

Does anyone make aftermarket propellers? I went to Squadron's online
catalog and could fine nothing.

Specifically I need a three-blader of about 750-1000 horsepower, with
NO streamlined spinner. The closest appropriate would be one for a
P-36 or something similar, but I sure do not want to buy two P-36 kits
just to get the props.

Yeah, I know I need pusher props, but I have no problem with cutting
off the small spinner/governer housing and flipping that with the
mounting pin.

Don:

Do a search for Aeroclub. They have all sorts of cast accessories.

Hannant's carries Aeroclub, & they may make those specific
props.
