BlackHawk Single prop

[BY U BOY]

Has anyone made a blackhawk a single prop? Would it be possible?

Take off a prop.

But why would you want to?

apparently there was a kit that converted them to a single #6 style prop but I have never seen one. Not really sure why you would want to do it?

Better choice of props is all I can think of....

maybe the higher X dim and surfacing bullet?

Hey, I didn't say it would work well...

 

[Airpacker]

but they work just fine with two props so why make them less efficient?

What ever happened to that german company that was making a brovo style replacement surface drive?

It is MSA, We have the line, but have never sold one to date. They werent priced too badly, but they were more than a B1. Also some units req a transmission if I remember correctly. The shipping (importing) of these also would eat up some coin.. Jamie / Lakeside

There is a shop in Brick NJ that has converted a couple Blackhawks to single prop with "big shafts" as I recall. My understanding was better choice of props and that they were stronger with a single shaft instead of the two pieces needed for counter-rotation. I believe it also made them useful for more applications.
