Stronger hub for RC airplane folding propeller from Eclipson

The original hub had the spars that connect the propeller blades printed with the hub at a position that would not be very strong and then dangerous. I created a hub part that has sparts printed at a better orientation strenghtwise. This spar is then glued to the base hub.

Tha blades and spinner parts you get from the original thing.

Print a hub base and two spars. Glue them with CA or Epoxy. Enjoy.
