Before you change out the shaft of your champ, you are going to want to have a exacto knife, needle nose pliers, a new prop shaft with or without the gear attached, and a new prop. First cut the tap holding the fuselage to the wings, then gently hold the clear end piece with the pliers toward the center of the motor, and turn the shaft clockwise while holding that. The shaft should be disconnected from the motor, but trapped by styrofoam. So, take your exacto knife and make a big enough gap for the shaft and gear to get out. Then take your new prop-shaft and gear, and if the gear came on the shaft just pull it off, and put super glue where the gear was (On the straight threads under a little nub on the propeller) and slide the gear on. Let Dry. Then thread your new propeller, flat part of threads toward the gear. then take your completed shaft and place it back into the motor. Take your new or old end cap and twist it back on the end of the shaft. Re-tap the fuselage and you are ready to go!

Why does a propeller shaft have a slip joint?

Slip JointThe propeller shaft has to meet both of the changes i.e., the angular change coming between the gear box and differential and the change in length of the distance between the gear box and differential. The propeller shaft is also not on the same line as the gear box output shaft but it runs to the rear axle at an angle because the level of the rear axle is lower than the gear box.¾ To adjust 'angular motion', universal joints are provided.¾ To adjust for the change in length of the propeller shaft, a slip joint is provided.

Why the propeller shaft is inclined?

important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades

Why cone pin is used in propeller?

The cone pin, or shear pin, is used to attach the propeller to the drive shaft so that if you hit something hard with the propeller, you only break the shear pin, and not the expensive drive shaft, motor, or propeller.Or, more specifically, that you only break the shear pin and propeller, not the drive shaft or motor.
