Re:
The props are very easy to mount, some brans need drilling but that common.
OK I guess I didn't explain very well. Let me try again.
The first problem I mentioned was not referring to the simple fit of the prop on the collet with respect to the diameter of the prop hole. The problem is the fore-aft size of a prop hub with respect to the fore-aft length of the unthreaded portion of the collet. See photos below. The fore-aft thickness of a typical, suitable-size APC prop hub is shorter than the unthreaded base of the collet shaft. So you put the prop on the shaft, and you can not tighten the nut down to meet it. Does that explain what I am talking about better? See photos below. The unthreaded portion of the shaft is about 7.7mm, and an APC 6x4 prop hub is about 6.1mm thick. Proprietary motors that are meant to be used with proprietary spinners often have this problem. For example, I had the exact same problem with my FMS 1400mm Zero when I wanted to use an APC prop on it.
In one photo below, I have both the HK replacement Funfighter motor on the left, and an original-equipment Funfigher motor where I have tried to deal with that problem by fashioning a spacer. It's not an ideal solution though, and it was a pain in the butt to find a suitable piece of hardware and adapt it to make the spacer.
Yes, an X-mount with suitable hole-spacing is not so hard to find...but they should still give you either that, or some other kind of mounting hardware (like the Funfighter motor mount for example). Even ultra-cheap motors come with some kind of mount. I think this is the only motor I've ever bought that came with nothing.
As far as the screws that hold the motor to the X-mount, the problem is not that they are expensive (I didn't say that), but that it uses two different sizes, one of which is an oddball size not usually seen on motors of this size (the smaller size if I recall correctly). That was, and is, my complaint. So exactly WHERE can you get suitable screws to fit this motor? Please tell me.
