I have a three bladed prop with 78 inch dia 58 inch pitch. marked "TYPHOON" and has the digits 1 13 96 stamped on back of hub. Any info appreciated. Thanks GRUMPY

You can often tell more from the hub characteristics than from the blade characteristics. There are thousands of manufacturers of all sorts of props, and narrowing it down can often be very difficult.

the hub has a central hole approx one & 5/8 inches diam. 6 mounting bolts. the prop also has black boots across the flat tips and extending down the leading edge about 14 inches. the prop is made from maple. Is it possible that it was used on a blimp ?

[Dave]

Not likely. I would expect a blimp prop to be over twice that size.
