I used layers of 9 ounce RA7725 (as Aircraft Spruce calls it) fiberglass
to make my last spinner, and it's just about perfect. It

work with the Prince prop I bought soon after I got the plane home back
in 2006. I got the bright idea to use the aluminum spinner as a mold and

I needed to cut my Vans 13" spinner for installation with the Sensenich 54 X
54 prop on the Corvair. In the past, I used a Profile Copy tool, but could
not find mine and all I could Google up, were not deep enough. So I decided
to make one. Here are a couple pics of it and the installed spinner.
Hi Eric,
thank you for your prompt responce. Yes,I tried so far everywhere but no
success. I don`t know why so difficult to find 9 1/2"dia.spinner.
I was rather hoping to find some left over from Mrs.Rand´s businnes at that

Another idea for forward support on a spinner that I have seen in years past
depending on your spinner is to place a tennis ball in the forward end of the
spinner. The ball presses against the front of the prop and pushes against the
spinner, this keeps the spinner centered on the ball. This ide

One way to make them safer is to lay up a spinner in a female mold out of

Hey, let's don't freak everyone out about this. Airplanes have been using
spinners for a long time. Just do it right, use a bulkhead and don't leave
any nicks in the cutouts. This is nothing to panic over.

Could not tell you. The spinner the first time and the

Another point mentioned in just one post referred to the use of a forward

All you can say is that it will be ejected outward, more or less in
the plane of prop rotation, until it impacts a prop blade. When this
happens, it will go almost any

I used a spinner off a Beech Baron...cut down to fit. Of course, I had to
