PROPELLER
The propeller fitted to the M16 (M16C) is an ARPLAST GL3 ECOProp manufactured by Hélice.
The propeller comprises composite blades of epoxy resin, reinforced with carbon and glass. The reinforcement
extends the length of the blade and through aluminium collars at the blade foot. The hub, which takes three
blades, is an aluminium casting, machined to accept the blades and fixing bolts.
The blades are protected from abrasion due to grass, gravel or rain by use of an adhesive strip applied to the
leading edges
