Design change: build the tool from RevC. It supersedes FINAL. Confirm Wei is cutting from this one.

The first articles are the wrong part. The tool was cut from the old file.

Adopt Revision C

Blade pitch 5.0 → 5.5 in · Hub bore ⌀6.0 → ⌀6.35 mm · +0.4 mm root fillet

Linked to: Prop_6x5 · vC (production tool)

A revision decision buried in an inbox is one nobody can act on. Kyumi lifts it out of the thread and onto the part before the wrong file reaches the floor.
