ORIGINAL: MLDELARUELLE

Hi guys,
She's almost done, but I discovered that the yellow bolts to hold the propeller is too large for my 2 OS 46 AX.
Does exist an adapter ? Or does anyone with a good tip to solve this issue ?

BTW, I'm frightened by the weight compared to my Giles 202 1m80 of wing span which is lighter lighter .....

Thanks
ML


I believe the O.S. .46 AX has 1/4-28 crankshaft threads. Great Planes makes aluminum and brass spinner hubs that may work.

If the threaded portion of the crankshaft is too long, you may have to cut it, or use extra washers. The Higley brass hubs are nice toothey are heavy, brass, but that shouldn't matter, but you'll need a rod of some sort to tighten it.

Status: offline 		As an alternative to safety nuts, I've always wrapped my crankshaft thread with plumbers tape (that stretchy white stuff) then screwed the spinner nut straight on. NEVER had one come off, or even loosen.

p.s. Still working on mine as time permits - just finished adding all the extra aluminium panels, rivets etc and rubbing the whole lot back with 400 grit. Next is to prep surface, then paint all the panels, weathering etc.

Status: offline 		Hi
Thanks guys for spiner hubs.
Perhaps, it could be said in the documentation that the spinner included can be used on x, y , engines, but z. In order to order them with all the other stuffs needed.
It would avoid me to pay shipping costs.

See you
ML

Status: offline 		Hey Cal, (Heat1960), yes, more than ever. I can't wait to see all of our B-25's at the field. Of course I will be in stealth mode while ripping along behind you guys at low level!!!
I can't wait to see how yours turned out. Drop me a line when you are going flying and I can check it out (another set of eyes).

Status: offline 		Hi guys,

Mine should be ready to maiden next week. Just a question about balance point.
Without lead, the BP is 137mm from the LE.

In your opinion, do I need to install lead in the nose ?
How the BP is set on yours ?

Thanks
ML
