Status: offline 		Hello all I am thinking about putting a gas engine in a 1/5 spitfire that i am building. My question is I am know how spinner hooks up the cone to a glow engine no problem. But with some of the Gas engines there is a bolt instead of a nut to tighten down the prop with. How do you guys solve this problem with the attachment of the spinner to the backing plate?

Status: offline 		The same hole or holes that go through the prop will have to go through the spinner's backplate. My engines have small diameter bolts (4 or 6 depending on manufacturer) that go around the prop hub. An adaptor is usually provided that has both male and female threads. The male end screws into the crankshaft centerline and the female end can accept the bolt that retains the spinner cone. Pretty simple, really.
