Default RE: Prop question

Hello

I have a falcon prop 20.5 x 14.5 on the way and was about to order a true turn spinner for it but they don't have the slot size on file. Is there an apc that is similar so I tell them to do the slot that size. I don't want to have to dremel the spinner after I get it.

Happy landings.



I had to recently opened up a TruTurn spinner cut for APC-E props, but that was for the original version APC-E prop to accomodate the same exact Falcon prop. I think APC has since made the props thicker at the hub. It just required very very little filing. The slot was up against the Falcon prop and just barely fit. I just opened it a little with the file to be safe. The APC cut outs maybe larger now than the one I have, too. The spinner was purchased a couple of years ago. You would have to ask TruTurn if they have adjusted the cutouts since for the newer APC-E props. At any rate, even if you get the one they have, you may only have to file one edge a little.
