TIP OFTHEMONTH

Broken Prop

Velcro Knife

A blade from a broken

plastic prop is an excellent

removal tool when using a

hook & loop material to

hold batteries to your

airplane. It is usually

difficult to remove the

component without

damage to the mounting or

surrounding surfaces. Use

a portion of the broken

plastic prop to break the

grip allowing for easy

removal with no damage to

any surface. Use the side

that stayed on your model.

The hole in the prop hub

will also hold a nice loop

of cord as a leash. This

will become a must have

tool in your box.
