"Just a clarification for those suggesting that KR are not "certified" aircraft - KR aircraft ARE "certified" aircraft, just as Pipers, Cessnas, etc. are." Thanks for pointing that out Ed. I've been making the mistake of referring to the "other" aircraft as certifieds in various conversations,

Thanks for the reminder Mark about re-torqueing the prop bolts. Since I put my Prince on I haven't re-torqued it yet & I'm ashamed to count up how many hours it's been. Although it has a maple core, maybe the carbon fibre doesn't creep as much . . . hope, hope. I better tend to that. Steve

Geez Mark, Lighten up. When you said,? 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...? I was a bit surprised at your ire. I was just being dramatic, tongue in cheek, when I said,

We fly lots of young eagles in experimentals. The boy scout troops specifically have rules against it, so they fly in the certified craft. I've never seen a KR used, but RVs, Glassirs, Lancair, our EAA chapter president flys 'em in his Falco. We have an event this weekend at the local

I see how the forward bulkhead is screwed to the prop hub but not to the Spinner. So the forward bulkhead exists only for internal support of the spinner but is not attached to the spinner directly? I thought perhaps there would be screws through the spinner into the forward bulkhead much like

KR> Prop Spinner attaching screws ?

My favorite spinner was a 14 inch fiberglass unit sold by Loehle Aviation for use on his P-40 and P-51 replicas. I wonder if they still have them for sale? A prominent aerodynamicist told me that a spinner up to one third of prop diameter was the last way to squeeze a few more percentage points

Sure, if you look at the 6th pic down the thumbnails, you will see the back plate, the front bulkhead plate, and the crush plate with bolts in them. Look at the prop in the pic below that. The large back plate goes behind the prop, the bulkhead plate goes on top of the prop, and the crush plate

I don't lockwire my prop bolts either. Wooden props loosen up quickly, especially soon after installation, and should be re-torqued after a few hours of flying, and then two or three times (and every six months) afterwards. With locknuts, I retorque mine just about every time the top of the
