Propeller fitted to the Bu181 & Bu182?

Thanks for the feedback. With regards the example in my post, its the best I can do at the moment wieesso… I’ve asked the LEMB member who posted this if he’s able to provide us with a bigger scan…

Watch this space… 🙂

Afternoon chaps…

Does anybody here have any close-up photos of a propeller fitted to any of the surviving Bucker Bu181’s which include any manufacturers marks/decals? My reason for asking is that we are trying to identify a decal photographed on the propeller fitted on the Bu182 Kornett, a small scan can be viewed below:

Why am I asking about the Bu181… well, I have a theory that the propeller could have been manufactured by Hirth who provided the 105hp HM504 engine used on the Bu181. I know from my library that the Bu182 was fitted with a 80hp Bucker BuM700 so am guessing that the Hirth propeller was used on both types… so any help or pointers appreciated 🙂

:confused:

Die Bucker Flugzeuge. The complete history of all the little buckers 🙂
A very expensive book if I recall, which I got about 20 years ago.

Many thanks indeed John… its still very interest material nonetheless, so thanks for taking the time to look and post 🙂 BTW, what publication is the scan from?

I realise it’s not what you need, but these might be useful.

The decal in the picture looks like a (fairly modern) MT Propeller sticker to me; see http://www.mt-propeller.com/

After consultation of Flugzeug Profile No.36, I’ve been able to get a better scan of the decal in question:

Another image in the same volume shows one of the Bu182 having crashed and I can make out the “Schwarz” logo decal on its propeller, so it looks like propellers were indeed interchangeable on the Bücker types…

Thanks for the pointer John… that would be the volume by Erwin König published by Nara Verlag circa 1987? I see that König was also involved with Flugzeug Profile Nr.36 “Die unbekannten Bücker Flugzeuge Bü 180 Student, Bü 182 “Kornett” und Bü 134″ and I have that somewhere on my library shelves… off to take a look!

Yes indeed Kenneth, it does indeed look like the decal on the colour shot provided by wieesso…

Just a thought (and another long-shot) but does anybody know if the decal pictured on the Bü182 above could be the logo for Heine?
