Wow.................If you can't figure that out, then that 34% Extra may be a little much for your flying skills.


However, in the event your skillz match the bird, just measure the nose ring of the cowling. And it called a spinner.

It's mainly personal preference and what looks right, but like said before, just measure the ring on the cowl. It should probability be around a 5" spinner. Who makes the plane? If you need anymore help feel free to ask.

5" is probably going to be too big for a 34%. I have a 34% and around 4-1/4" to 4-1/2" is about right for the one I have. Just measure the front of the cowl and subtract just a little since the engine is out there a little and it tapers down.
