Terence Lynock Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I may be sounding a bit thick here but if you fit a 10'' prop with a dome nut you have about 9.5'' of usable propellor, but if you stick a 3'' spinner on it you are down to 7'' of usable blade, does this have an adverse effect on performance?, regards, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Pimm Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Not much, maybe a few % but thats all. Most of the work is done from the 75% `span' outwards.Evan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi Terence,There was a Bristol fighter at the end of WW1 It had a huge basin shaped spinner. Hardly any prop stuck out... I think it was the Bristol M3. It was said to be one of the best aircraft of its era..I'll try to dig out a photo.ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Lynock Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 How big a spinner do you need? sure there is a way to mold or Vacform one rather than pay that sort of money after all it is only a piece of plastic or ally, cant you spin one from 16 guage ally sheet on a lathe?, regards, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
