And while it’s disassembled, Adam spends the day making a replacement blade to restore this prop to its full multi-bladed glory. Be prepared for some fun maths!

That green/yellow wire is more likely to be a grounding-wire (PE=protective earth) which will protect you from getting zapped should the motor short-circuit.
