Carbon Fibre Propellor on the Walrus

...and it looks groovy

With the parcel safely retrieved from the post office, I fitted the 10x6 carbon fibre prop to the Walrus last night. It was really easy to change the blades, just two screws to be removed and taking only a couple of minutes.



The blades fit perfectly and look brilliant. They are quite a bit bigger than the standard Walrus blades but I tried running the motor and it handles the extra load quite happily.



The finish of the blade is much better than the plastic original which, to be quite honest, is quite crappy. And, of course, the carbon weave looks good...

Propellor Held Hostage

...noooooo!


Came home this afternoon to find a delivery card for a parcel - my carbon propellor, excellent! It was ten past five, and the post office closes at five. Gnashing of teeth, kicking of things...

Very annoying as I would get good use out of the propellor on the Walrus, while it would be of absolutely no use to the post office, so really I should be allowed to go and get it based on these grounds.

Seems a reasonable-enough argument I think...
