Hi Graham,
Thanks for your interest.
A fixed pitch prop is certainly an option. It=99s a Rotax 912S. Do
you know of one (says he hopefully).
I would probably need the bolts to go with it but it would get me home.

Depending on the amount of damage, is it feasible to trim the other two
blades to balance the prop?
What about a fixed pitch prop?
Which engine is it, 912, 2S or 914?

Is any body there.
I was returning from a round Europe holiday with my wife in our Europa
Classic Mono. We have been to from Scotland to Texel in Holland,
Belgium, Saumur in the Loire Valley in France. We were returning via a
friend in Jersey and I ground looped on the main runway in Jersey.
Ouch! embarrassed or what!
I was wondering if a builder or someone has a pair of broad blade warp
drive blades for an Airmaster A332 sitting waiting for an aircraft to be
built. I would replace them with brand new ones from Airmaster but I
gather that could take a month or even two. So it would be a builder who
is not going to need them for a month or two. I know it is a thin chance
but my poor Monowheel is stuck in Jersey. There was no dead stop, the
engine was idling, I even taxied off the runway but the last centimetre
of prop is slightly damaged. Alternatively the loan of a fixed pitch
prop that has been on a Europa would certainly get me onto the mainland.
The ferry cost for a 46ft rig from Poole to Jersey is fairly eye
watering.
I have sent my wife home by Easyjet which is a bit of an admission of
defeat but I think she is quite relieved.
Can anybody assist?
