Keeping stones out of the prop

[Werdus]

Hallo all
I am looking for some advise on how to keep stones out of my microlight`s prop. The aircraft is a Aquilla 582.
I have a fairly rough runway with loose stone on it. I am scared of a stone being thrown up into the prop on landings or take-offs.
Are there any simple solutions?

You can phone me(Nico) 08two 85two 596one.It's normally the front wheel that pick the stones up...

Don't keep the info to your self.

You must fit a plastic mesh under the motor between the rear wheels.That will catch the stones that the front wheel lift up.

Nico was daar nie 'n bespreking dat dit 'n modifikasie was waarvoor goedkeuring moes gekry word nie?

Weet nie daarvan nie,maar dis nie 'n permanente verandering nie,maak dit net vas met cable ties...

Very nice aerie Johan , very practical mod- wish i had done that in the old days, spent a lot of time filling with epoxy and then balancing the prop afterwards.
When you coming to visit -getting tired of nagging you- is my runway to short ? !!

Hi Sue
No, I am afraid you are going to charge me landing fees because I can make at least 3 landings and take-offs on your runway with the Skyjeep.

Werdus, a front wheel mud flap with thin insersion rubber works well
