Spinners
I would like to start a discussion regarding spinners. I have a DLE-111 in an Extra 330. I have installed an MPI 4-1/2" aluminum spinner. This spinner is very good looking, the finish is as good as you could ask for. The problem i am running into is when the cone is tightened the back plate warps. It not only looks bad, it creates a condition that brings a portion of the back plate very close to touching the cowl. The question, is there a way to avoid this and still be confident the cone is secure? I wouldn't mind replacing it with another brand of spinner but not crazy about spending $100 plus to do that.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions will be appreciated.
