I would like to know if there's a problem to grill in an APC plastic prop to install it on a gas engine, I have the center shaft with two side holes.

Thank you!

It may work but I personally don't think is a good idea. The centre of the APC is not designed to be drilled, it may get weaker. If I were you I would use a prop that is designed for gas. There are tons of good brands out there and having only two side holes I assume that your engine is not that big.

Again, use the proper prop instead of risking it, it is not worth the try.

Cheers,

Will

As long as it's not an APC electric prop then sure!
