If someone could give me a crash (poor choice) course in cutting out an aluminum spinner to accommodate a composite prop, I'll be most appreciative. The spinner (SN-4) is from the Aircraft Spruce catalog, page 179 in 2009-2010 catalog, and the prop is a Prince 52-48 composite for a VW1835 engine.

<> I had a similar dent on the tip of my spinner. I rounded the end of a hardwood dowel and tapped it from the inside, gently, with a hammer. Better, but not perfect. Brad Ankerstar, SW Ohio N774A

Excellent idea, Brad. Have some 3/4 x 36 inch oak dowel in the shop. Do you think it would help to heat the area some, or would that just get me into trouble? Thanks again. - Original Message - From: "Brad Ankerstar" To: "KRnet" Sent: Sunday, May 09, 2010 12:01 PM Subject: Re: KR> N

Maybe. I didn't, but then I didn't think of it. My fix may have been better if I had. Brad Ankerstar, SW Ohio N774A

Thanks, Dan, for the excellent link. I sure hope the Pam does its jobIf any of you smarter kids in the class have any other thoughts about this process, I'll happily entertain them. On its face, though, Dan's link looks pretty idiot-proof. Probably shouldn't 'a said that out loud... -
