Hi, I would like to get some brass props as I don't like the looks of the black nylon ones and I am thinking about getting the R/C kit from marki53. So the thread has to be M2 and as Lassek isn't doing his props anymore I am looking for other places that do it. I emailed LHDockyard@aol.com and he said doing an M2 thread is impossible and nobody produces them any more Any help would be appreciated.

No one have a clue? As I really do want to get Marki's motors but I am having a really hard time finding brass propellers with the M2 threads.

Just looking at Vikings pictures of his build, and I noticed that Viking has used mountings not to dis-similar to the Titanics mouldings on the hull, have you made them your self Viking?

I don't know if I am going blind but I can only see M3 sized propellers. I assume these wouldn't work either?

M3 doesn't work, only M4 with reducer to M2

found a solution for using those M4 props: these adaptors have a 2mm hole and a M4 thread for the prop. the shaft is simply glued into this adaptor with loctite bearing glue

Try this one; www.gsitek-props.co.uk/I am getting my props from him, they are M4, but he is putting in an insert to take them down to M2, as Markus said in his last post.

Yeah I have tried him eric. No reply to the email I sent and I also tried his phone number several times today and no answer. So its not looking good for Mr Gistek. If you are in contact with him I don't suppose you could mention me?

If you are in contact with him I don't suppose you could mention me? He can be hard to reach, true!! I phoned him rather than Email, but he is kinda a one man band, so not always availble to pick up. I will not be getting in touch with him again, unless there is a prob with the order, he did warn me that it will take several weeks for him to be able to fulfill my order. I am afraid that I would have no more luck than yourself in contacting him...but if I do, I shall mention you!!
