    So I hit a pebble today on take off and broke the prop on take off. I go to BH.com and the prop is not even listed in the spare parts section. Any ideas on who else sells parts for this plane? Or any aftermarket props?
    Here's my suggestion..............
    The stock prop on the LX F4F is 12x6x3
    The stock prop on the FL Tigercat is 12x7x3
    Use the standard rotation prop and hub and prop shaft from the FL Tigercat.
    The prop shaft on the LX F4F I believe is the same one used on the LX B-25.
    I used the LX B-25 shaft and props on my FL Tigercat using the original FL motors.
    So the reversal of using an FL shaft on the LX motor should hold true for bolt pattern, that is if my assumption about the F4F is correct in the fifth sentence. ;)

      Not a bad idea you have there. I may just have to try that.

          There also going to have a booth at the AMA West show
          I Know this thread is a tad old, But I liked this plane and went to the hsdgo.com site, They say they have them in stock, But would not let me buy one due to a "oversize Package Restriction for USPS", It would not give me any other options, (Website glitch or something) So OK I call the Customer Service Number provided on the website. I get a Answering service message. Guess who's voice was on that answering message... Remember Pete from Banana Hobby? he did a lot of their videos, I Swear that was his voice on that answering machine, Anyway, I called during proper hours, No one took my call, Tried again on the website to be able to get a order, No Luck, SO SORRY, NO SALE. What a shame, I was gonna give this plane a good home. They didn't make a sale, I didn't get a plane.

            HSD and BH are one place , and yes Pete is back at BH. Must be a glitch on there website as I never had issues ordering from there

              I finally was able to order linkage rods and a screw set for my Wildcat. Took a long time for the parts to be in stock.
