| taking apart the Shangri-la -- how to get that blasted prop off? Okay, anyone have to take apart their Shangri-la to pack it or sell it or whatever -- I need to box mine up and I can't get the darn prop to come off. I believe it just snapped on, but it sure ain't just snapping off... and I already broke one model this week by trying to force issues  | |||||||||||||

So... I guess you forced the issue after all? Just for future reference... | ||||||||||||||

| Re: taking apart the Shangri-la -- how to get that blasted prop off? Mark showed me this once. Hold your index finger about six inches behind the blade and strike the blade very hard. It won't break the blades are metal, and he said that they are designed to take the abuse and be re-afixed. He showed me this when the Mustang first came out. It's supposed to be able to survive a tumble off of a five foot shelf. | |||||||||||||

Yup, I just pulled it off... took a lot of pressure to get it to move. I'll try Gavin's tip next time, I've still got another EI Mustang to pack! | ||||||||||||||

Gavin's post is cracking me up... I didn't think it serious at first! With my luck I would hit the prop wrong and slice my finger! Let us know if it works, Pappy. | ||||||||||||||

All you have to do is hold the plane away from you and "flick" the prop blade with your fingernail.. The prop will go flying off, with no harm done..  | ||||||||||||||
