I have several props that are all rubber pressed. They've eventually spun out, and I've had them changed with rubber pressed hubs.

On the next spinout, I'd like to convert them so I can replace the prop hub inserts myself.
I've spin them when I taxi too fast with max capacity, take a bottom hit, or when i tube with too much resistance.

QUESTION: Are some propellors always going to be pressed, or are hub inserts / universal hubs able to be put into most propellors ?

A rubber hubbed prop can not be converted. The insert and the hub for the separate insert props are roughly square shaped.
