This motor comes with a prop saver type adaptor which is perfect for GWS props.

Be aware the prop saver on this has a very short shaft and also short screws to attach the O ring. It does throw props very easily at full throttle. Have tried smaller O rings and longer screws but still occurs, however not in flight.

The size o ring 2mmx 16mm

I assume you are talking about the two small, black elastic(ish) bands. They are used to secure the prop to the shaft of the motor, as shown here www.link

Apologies, I can't seem to attach the link. However if you google 'prop saver' you will see what they do.

the motor and prop combination have to give enough trust for your airplane. Find a plane here on HK that has about the same shape and weight and see if there are comments about used motor / prop combinations.. at least thats how i do it, and workd for me!

eimix it happen a lot. It has a standard 3mm shaft so you can find heaps under motor parts or you could do what I do and pinch one out of a old computer CDROM (2 x 3mm guides inside). I hope this helps

ahh no.. That shaft is mounted to the rotor.. and its really difficult to do that, trust me I lost a costly motor trying to do that.

I posted a new pdf file, this time with "fonts embedded" - this should work for you. Be warned though: I bought two of these and both failed (one within minutes of use) - the windings are shorted against the stator - a bad batch of wire or perhaps the coating on the stator is bad. I wouldn't buy this unless you plan on re-winding it until HK fixes the problem. I have a couple of the HK 2612 motors that stutter on startup, this could be the same issue, just not as severe (yet).

With 2s, a 9" or 10" prop is appropriate. With 3s, an 8" or 9".

8 prop is good with 3s
