Spinner questions
Searched through the forums and did not find my answer but I tried so sorry if this is a repost.
I am new to the hobby and purchased a Hanger-9 P-51 PTS and love it. I have flown other planes such as the LT-40 and a J3 cub which fly nice but still like the PTS.
I have been soloing for a while now and have had my first incident. a hard nose over and broke the prop which has forced this issue. I have wanted to install a new prop. I purchased a 10 x 6 however I am having troubles with finding a proper spinner and back plate that will fit my plane. All the local hobby stores carry the standard Du-Bro spinner however the back plate is recessed and I need a flat backed plate. With the recessed plates their is no clearance between the cowl and backplate..ie no go. I see that I can move the motor forward in the mounts and extend the throttle arm to match. I might also be able to put a nut behind the recessed backplate to move it forward or just find a flat backed plate that works. What manufacture should I be looking for or what is my best solution. The spinner size is 2 1/2. Thanks for your help in advance.
The engine is an EVO 0.46 and I was also wondering if the 10 x 6 was the best prop to use.
