# Motivation
I really like the design [1665993](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1665993) from [markqv](https://www.thingiverse.com/markqv), but I needed it for the Mayatech (and similar) folding prop yoke. There is even a remix for exactly this: [2514514](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2514514), but I had trouble with too much friction, that would need quite a bit of sanding.
# Details
This design should work for a lot of folding props, if you adapt the parameters accordingly. I included the (reverse engineered) parameters for the Aeronaut folding prop as well as the Mayatech + Gemfan ones. But I only tested the Maytech version myself.
As usual I went for a parametric design, to make it easier to adapt things later. This time I tried to use the freecad TechDraw workbench to document all the parameter, which was a bit painful, because it has to be re-done whenever the slightest change is done to the model. But the result looks quite good.
