ORIGINAL: JAS

Why not have Bob make you a single bolt hub for the DLE? We have one on my original TOC 3W 70 twin from TT and it works great. Never had a prop slip, even running on carbon pipes.
Good idea Jason.....I "ll discuss it with him and see what can be done. The 4 5M bolts weigh almost 2 ounces so if some weight could be saved too, it would be bonus.....

In meantime, the backplate of the spinner he is making will be drilled for the 4 bolts. But today I flew without the hand cut spinner; things were a bit smoother. Taking the 2 1/2 ounce spinner off the nose really hardly changed anything in the flying.
