David Collins will be your man, but I suspect not, as the Hornet had handed props as they rotated in opposite directions, while the Mosquito's didn't AFAIK.

Hi

yeah true, but i was wondering if the correct handed props for the mossie was the same

I should have been clearer in my question

i think the complete prop assy dia was 12'6" but not sure what the hornet was.

likewise if the spinner was the same on both.

cheers

Hi Jerry,

Sorry for the late reply, but have only just seen your question.

In short, I don't know for sure but they probably are the same. I will check and let you know.

Hi David,

Many thanks, no probs with the delay, you must have lots to do

I couldnt find anything myself, as my little research stuff i have on the hornet, doesnt give prop dia, or type info

cheers

The spinners are different. The mosquito 4 blade spinners appear shorter, with a larger diameter than the hornets.

My references show the hornet had a 12ft diameter prop, that they describe as the DH standard. Does this shorter prop work for you? The blade section and profile look the same between the two types.
