Re: i have a good qustion

I believe Critical Mass may have had a Skyraider prop and possibly CzechMate.

Re: i have a good qustion

i believe Darryl Greenamyer's Bearcat used a skyraider prop, i dont think czech mate uses one as the blades would have to be massively shortened, and also they look to wide in the cord of the blades

Re: i have a good qustion

I think Super Corsair race #1 turned a Skyraider prop. Pretty sure.

Re: i have a good qustion

I would say that if it's got a single 4360, 3350 or 2800, then it uses a Skyraider prop. Exceptions would be Riff Raff (Ham Std) and a stock bearcat (same airfoil, I'm told, just shorter). Czech Mate had 7" (I think) cut off the Skyraider prop and the tips welded closed.

Re: i have a good qustion

Czech Mate prop blades were from Skyraider prop on Blind Man's Bluff, bent due to a prop strike during test flight by Bill Norton before going to Reno in 87. I heard that Yancey needed a prop for the Yak, so I called him and told him I would give the blades to him, if he could shorten them, and make them work, just the tips were "curled". A side bar to this is that Roger O Day, one of the crew members had taken a blade home for a souvenir, but he gave it up willingly for Yancey's project. These blades were from one of our props that did not have the "cuffs", like later Skyraider props.

Bob told me that he cut the prop with a hack saw.
