Prop mounting?
Being new to the sport, I noticed the prop on my JM 6x4 hasn't the same size hole as my Turnigy B2835-2200. What is the best way to mount this thing without buying an adapter and waiting for shipping?
Thank you very much!

Props usually come with spacer rings. Yours didn't?

Yes but they were too big for the 3.2mm shaft. Chris could you recommend a trusted adapter + prop for a 3.2mm shaft for my easy glider pro?
Thank you

Hobby Lobby is a great resource. Not just for purchases, but they often have video of the planes they sell so you can see them in action. Here's a link to an 3.2mm (1/8th in) adapter. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/prop_shaft_adapter_for_3.2mm_1_8_motor_s...

Prop's are never "mounted" directly to the motor shaft. You need to find a "prop adaptor" for a 3.2mm motor shaft. For example - http://www.hobby-lobby.com/prop_shaft_adapter_for_3.2mm_1_8_motor_s...
There are ones that use grub screws to secure the adaptor to the motor shaft (like above) or others that use a collet.
