Building a replica 1918 Fokker D VII and need a hub so that the redrive can get the right propeller shaft and I can make a propeller. Any leads would be helpful if you know any.
Thanks

AN-5017 should have the table of dimensions for a #20 up to a #60 spline.

Thanks

Have you talked to Valley Engineering?

They make PSRU's and would probably either sell you a hub or put you in the right direction.
They're very Mom-And-Pop, and so you'll be talking directly to either Alaina (who makes props and answers the phone), who will put her dad or grandfather on the phone to give you the skinny. A whole bunch of us in the WWI replica/representational aircraft community have gone to them, and I can personally vouch for their ability to speak "do-hicky" and quality of work.

Thanks Dart, I do remember talking with them earl in my process. They deal with max 110 hp and VW engines and big twins, not my 200 hp Ford full sized Fokker weighing 2000 lbs loaded. I will talk with them again but not holding my hopes up. Good idea though.
