Mark the backing plate needs inspection each pre-flight as well because that is what failed on mine and almost cost me the front cowling. I think mine got damaged during the hurricanes when the spinner took that hit, but the crack took 24 hours of flight time to show itself. By then it had cracked almost all the way around, but was hidden by the prop until the day the prop was actually making contact with the nose of the cowling.
