    Anyone have replies from the UK Prop Shop?

    Anyone have any replies from the UK Prop Shop?
    Wrote emails through his Prop-shop web site on September 21. 2025 to Simon. Nothing. Repeated emails Nothing.

    Recently a friend did the same. No reply too

    Is Simon ok Alive? Is he still taking orders?
    If so how can we reach him since his web page doesn't seem to be getting through to him.

    Emails to his address bounce back undeliverable. Using his message contact window on his website will not send messages says firewalls blocking.

    Been a few years since I last placed an order, but afaik he's still in the game. Usually best to call him, he's always been flaky with email.

        Just ordered and received a couple props. I had questions about the props and have not received a reply yet. I'll try again.

                Simon has been swamped this year. I recently ordered some custom cast props and can attest to how busy he is. Patience and persistence are the keys..

                  Thanks Tim. Its good he is so much in demand. His work is quality. Best I know of. The metals used are harder metals than Raboesch propellers which are good to and used both.

                  I am going to opt out and having a propulsor designed and 3 d printed instead. Cheaper and will be lighter.

                  A friend has sent Simon a payment and hasn't received his order yest after several months. I will forward the answers here to him. My friend has same address posted above. Will suggest he stay patient.
