After seeing this Youtube

I decided to make some improvements to my carbon fibre prop mould. Getting the hub out after curing was always a problem so I decided to make a tapered shaft and inserts around the front. Also using a printed shaft instead of turned aluminium has simplfyed the process.
Just lay or forged up the the first prop in it , so hopefully the epoxy will be hard enough to open it up at the field tomorrow after our club AGM to show all . Hope it works.
