REFLECTOR: spinner

[Ron N VelocityXLFG]

When bonding the foam together  Keep the glue to the center. The glue is 
so much harder then the foam as you know if you built your wings that it 
really messes
with the shaping. I made my spinner  by bonding the foam to a steel tube 
and turning it on the back side of my Lathe. Use the largest tube you 
can get away
with  for rigidity  .
