Default RE: Spinners

The Plett website now shows a spinner assembly for the 30-10 which addresses the cooling issue. The motor mounts in the spinner which has a hole in front to allow cooling air in. A clamp on hub assembly at the rear of the motor can takes folding prop blades.

Is this the new motor you are talking about Chad? What blades would one use with it? Apart from the folding blade deal this arrangement looks perfect from a cooling and CG point of view. As Plett say, the prop mounted on the rear of the motor can will also help with vibration issues caused by a lot of overhang from the bearings to the prop.
