Loosing a spinner is something that has always scared me. I went to great lenghts to make sure mine stays in place. The spinner in the picture is a Great Plains spinner. I reinforced the prop cutouts from the inside. I also shimmed my front bulkhead to meet the spinner and then fastened it with screws so it cant wobble. Its quite sturdy.
