Sure, I built it to fit my plane perfectly, it's perfectly balanced, I built it in about four hours and saved a lot of money and hassle, and I can brag that I built it myself! Isn't that the definition of homebuilding? I might have four hours of my time in the whole thing. Of course I'd do it again. If I wouldn't recommend doing it I probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble to show others how to do it by making a web page showing the details. > I'd like to get your same look, but do not trust myself fabricating a part > that is > required to spin thousands of times a minute. I find it interesting that you're building your own composite airplane, with composite spars which you apparently designed, and you're worried about the spinner...
