bent display prop fix

Mon Oct 24, 2011 10:46 pm

I have a nice three blade prop with three nearly evenly bent blades. I either want to bend em all straight (preferred) or bend one or two a bit to even them up for a coffee table. Any thoughts on heating to bend or will that make the alum too brittle and crack them?

Probably they would crack or break, contact a prop shop, tell 'em what you've got and got in mind and see if they will sell you some unservicable blades that have been rendered useless.
