Can you tell me the plane and engine for this prop. I didn’t see it listed on your Fahlin webpage. Also, why did they get chopped off? Prevent use when damaged? Great website.
Thx

That's a "test club" and nothing has been chopped off. It is used to provide drag on an engine being run on a test stand and is purposely inefficient, as you'll notice that the blades are a fixed angle rather than changing pitch along the blade, as all aircraft mounted props do.
It's stamped for the Continental R 670 engine and is not specific to any aircraft make and model, just the engine itself. -
Interesting, thanks for the quick reply. Any idea year it’s may have been used?Comment

No, I don't. It was likely manufactured in the 40s or 50s and could conceivably still be used, since I don't think it has to be airworthy for its purpose as a test club.Comment
