What is the correct VDM number for the Me109 Props?
 

Hi guys,

trying to confrim the VDM number for both the early and late style Me109 props...

As far as I know

F-1, F-2 = 9-11207
F-4 = 9-12010
G = 9-12159A OR 9-12087A
K = 9-12159A

I have found a prop recently, but I was told the number is 9-12159 10. I looked at the pic, and it could be "A0" at the end...just have no experience with this last digit.

Thoughts?

I have one somewhere from an E. As I recall, the number is 9-110something/something but I will check.

Bf 109E - VDM 9-11081A ohne Automatik, 9-11081E mit Automatik
Bf 109B,C,D - VDM 9-11072A

Both are correct for the G. The '87 is for medium altitude 109s with the DB 605A (or AM). Basically G-1 through G-6, and G-8, G-14, G-12.

The '159 prop is a wider bladed prop used with the high altitude 605AS and 605D engines on G-5/AS, G-6/AS, G-14/AS, G-10 and K-4.

A reversible pitch Messerschmitt P6 prop was fitted to handful of early G airframes to assist (decrease) with ground roll.

From the propellor docs I have seen there is indeed designations like 9-12159.10, but I am not sure of the importance of the last two digits.. it seems to me variations to a prop with the same base properties.

Just to add a bit more detail for those interested, the blade for the Me 110 (C variants) is 9-11073.10

I am sure I have seen a reference somewhere to the .10 suffix (as per the first post in this thread) to the number as denoting a twin engine fit, but do not know why it would be important to signify this?

Hi Guys,

I found a 109 blade which still had the original stencilling. On the BASE, it has the 9-12159 10 number.

So...is it possible all 109 blades has this "10" suffix?

Possibly so, but if so then the .10 suffix is not exclusive to the Me 109 blade.

Re: What is the correct VDM number for the Me109 Props?
 

Numbers such as: 9-12087.10 are blade part numbers.
A blade with the number 9-12159.10 is from a 109G/K with GM1 or an AS or MW.

the dot means one of the 3 blades 9-11073.10 9-11073.11 9-11073.12

Re: What is the correct VDM number for the Me109 Props?
 

That is not quite how the VDM ersatzteiliste always reads.

Maybe we misunderstand each other?
The .10's are blade sub types, the .20's are hub sub types, .30's are spinner sub types etc....
So, the 9-12159A Gerat is fitted with 9-12159.10 blades (this is the only blade listed). However, the Nabe could be a 9-12040.22 or a .21 as both types are listed.
