Default RE: U Can Do 3D 60 Building tips?

I have most of my UCD together.

I bought a Tru Turn spinner and the recommended adapter nut. It seems that there is going to be a problem with the length of the propellor shaft. With the prop, spinner back plate, nut, and adapter it appears that there is not enough room to fit the spinner. I thought I saw somewhere that someone recommended cutting off the propellor shaft (shorter). I hope that I do not have to do this!

Has anyone else used this spinner / prop / engine combination? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Also, thanks to everyone for their tips. Any other building or setup tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

I was able to fit the spinner without cutting off the motor output shaft! I used the standard nut that came with the motor. The motor also comes with a jamb nut which I replaced with the spinner adapter. I only had to cut off about 1/8" off of the 10-32 side of the spinner adapter. Fits great now.
