FES Propeller Manual Version 1.21 April 2019 Warning: Users of FES powered sailplanes should recognize that various types of risks are involved, and they should take all precautions to minimize them, since they cannot be entirely eliminated. The propeller blades are one of the most critical parts of powered sailplane, having vital importance to the flight safety.
Propeller identification placard is located on the propeller sticker (transparent sticker glued on lower surface of the propeller close to the blade suspension). NOTE: Propeller type FES-LS8-P1-102 is identical like FES-VEN-P1-102. It is marked differently due to different type and manufacturer of the sailplane.
April 2019 4. Construction 4.1 Certification standards Propeller type FES-LS8-P1-102 described here is designed and tested according to CS 22 Subpart J. This manual is intended to comply with CS‐22.1903, providing the essential information for installing, servicing and maintaining the propeller.
FES Propeller Manual Version 1.21 April 2019 5. Removal of propeller blades 1. Carefully remove white round stickers which are glued over 6 screws, which hold the spinner. Unscrew all 6 M4 countersink screws, with 2,5mm sized hex key, to remove the spinner.
For LS8 equipped with FES, propeller type is FES-LS8-P1-102. Left blade is marked as L and right blade is marked as 2. Left and right propeller blade have slightly different shape of top center surface due to asymmetric shape of the spinner.

FES Propeller Manual Version 1.21 April 2019 5. Before placing washers, crown nuts, and split pins, it is strongly recommended to close motor openings with a tape, as show on photo in previous chapter in order to reduce possibility that any of the small parts could enter into the motor, if it falls through the fingers by coincidence.
FES Propeller Manual Version 1.21 April 2019 7. Fix the spinner with four Inox M4x8mm countersink head screws, and two M4x6mm screws. Two screws which are 2mm shorter are located at 60deg and at 300deg angle (upper left and right). Tightening of all 6 screws should be gently with small torque (do not use high torque, as thread in the aluminum plate could be damaged).
FES Propeller Manual Version 1.21 April 2019 9. Maintenance and repair 1. Periodic control of propeller is required after every 50 hours of motor run or after 12 months, whatever comes first, by air-worthiness controller: - check visually the leading and trailing edge at the root. If there are visible any cracks or other major damages, please contact manufacturer for advice before next flight.
