REFLECTOR: spinner

[Alex Balic]

I have had a lot of success using great stuff foam to glue the blue
Styrofoam together- it then cuts just the same as the blue foam, and not a
hard line of micro  I just squirt a little bit out, then rub the blue foam
together to minimize the size of the great stuff line.   Internal pipe is a
great idea, since it would be tough to keep the foam attached to the back
plate with just screws...

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  .

You could look at Klaus' or Ken Miller's spinners.  They're KISS style as
well.  I used a Miller on my Catto, but I replaced the glass bulkhead with
metal after Zietlin's prop loss incident.

I am finally going to paint N-444DX, my Velosity SEFG.  It has about 120

hours on it, so it is about time.  I need a spinner.  I have a Catto

fixed

pitch prop.  He recommends Chris Wade's spinners.  Unfortunately Chris

died

in a mid air collision last year.  His family is still making spinners,

but

I am not sure of the quality.

 

The Wade spinners have a plate that bolts onto the crush plate with the

prop

bolts and the spinner fastens to this plat.  It does not extend over the

prop blades.  The only shape they are making is the Hersey Kiss. 

 

Any other ideas?  I didn't see much on Spruce or anywhere else.
