To replace the propeller on the FMS F4U-R Corsair:
1. Remove the nose cone (spinner): The nose cone on the FMS F4U-R Corsair is typically a push-fit, not threaded. Gently pull it off by hand. If it's tight, use a soft cloth for grip and carefully twist while pulling.
2. Remove the propeller: After removing the spinner, you'll see a retaining nut holding the propeller onto the motor shaft. Use a suitable wrench or socket to unscrew the nut. Slide the old propeller off the shaft.
3. Install the new propeller: Slide the new propeller onto the shaft, ensuring it fits snugly and is oriented in the correct direction for proper thrust.
4. Secure the propeller: Reinstall the retaining nut and tighten it securely, but avoid over-tightening.
5. Reattach the nose cone: Push the spinner back onto the shaft until it fits firmly in place.
