I need help filling and Employment Opportunity

[ThrottleUp Props]

I am looking for a little help from you guys. It is quite apparent that there are some troubling times in our industry. Many companies are laying staff off and handing out pick slips. We know that some of the larger companies such as Mercury are scaling back and there are some great and talented people out there. Many with families to take care of.

I am blessed enough to be in a position to possibly help a few of them.

I am in need of Experienced Propeller Technicians. I know this is a very niche market, but I thought someone may see this or know of someone from the industry who is looking for a new place to call home.

I apologize to the Moderators if I have posted this improperly. It is just that this is such a niche industry and the power of SOS has done some great things for so many people.

Thanks for looking guys!

Sorry not experienced, but willing to learn.
But I'm relocating to Phoenix area this weekend.
Probably not of much help to you unless you were interested in opening a shop in the West.

Does this count as experienced? :rofl:

Sounds like an interesting job.

Question....is there any place that teaches this or is it learned hands on?

Good question.
I've always been somewhat fascinated with the geometry that goes into this.
There are books on propellers and calcs. that can make your head spin.

Julie, just for some clarification, are you looking for CAD/machining or repair/finishing/labbing talent?

Michigan Wheel has had cutbacks and they used to be one of the main players. Don't know who to contact there though.

I have a lot of experience working with my RC props...


2.5 inches diameter, 5.1 inches pitch, 17,000+ RPM .....:sifone:.....

It is a skill set that we have found, very few possess. I would compare it to Autobody work....they have great dexterity.

OUCH!!!!!!! Sorry to see that picture....

Death of a prop!
