Which Spinner for Hangar 9 Extra 330L 1/3rd????
Hey people,
I was wondering if anyone has put the Hangar 9 Extra 330L 1/3rd scale together. My question is which size Tru-Turn spinner gives the best fit. I was about to order the Tru-turn TT-4052-B-M-3W, which is cut for the Menz prop and drilled for a DA-100, measures 4 inch on the backplate. While I was on Chiefaircrafts' site, I found they had a listing with 4 1/4 inch spinner #TT-4252-B-M that says it fits the Cap and Extra. Tru-turn has a menz cut of this spinner also. The pictures on the box of my Extra show a gap/ridge between the spinner and the top of the cowl.....I don't want my plane to look like that, I want it to be flush. Anyone know the answer?
Thanks
Ernie

I used a 4 1/4" Dave Brown on mine when I had it.
the spinner was cut for a 3 blade Mezlik 24x12 and fit perfectly. the back plate was the correct size for the cowl at 4 1/4", I think 4 1/2 might be a bit big, not sure.
I don't concearn myself with getting the "perfect" fit to the cowl. once you fly the plane you may need to make thrust angle corrections during trimming so a little gap is needed.

Hubb,
Thanks for your reply. Yeah, at a hundred bucks a pop, I want to make sure that the top of the backplate and the front/top of the cowl line up, and I know to leave some room at the sides for thrust adjustments. Did yours need any? Then again, I will be running a 27-10 2 blade versus the 3 blade you were running. My experiences have been bigger props seem to need a bit more thrust offset. Thanks for your feedback.

Shoot, For $85 you can get a Carbon fiber Spinner from www.petemodel.com. I put their 4.25" Bullet style spinner with lightened backplate on my H9 330L, it looks very nice, and it weighs less than half of the Tru-Turn.
Some food for thought....

RE: Spinner for H9 Extra
Don't know yet. I just mounted the engine last night. This plane has never left the ground yet.
I hope to run it this weekend, but I still need to get the radio equipment installed.
Would it be better to run two Futaba PCM receivers and split the control surfaces, or use one receiver and two batteries? I haven't decided which way to go yet. I have both receivers and both batteries already.

Wow, it's been a while since I last saw this thread 
I'm posting a front-shot of mine Extra (using a 3,5" spinner)
By the way, I put in a 3W 106 (I wanted more power than 3W 85) -- and well... Just forged the weight and go fly
See ya

RE: Spinner
No gaps along the wing and fuse joint, did have some loose stringers along the bottom of the fuse that needed some glue.
It's been 99.9% done for about 5 months......just haven't put any effort into mounting 3 switches, 1 ign battery, and balancing the prop. Should be in the air shortly.
