Prop Spinner
Ok let see if I got this right for assembly of probp and prob spinner. Backing plate on engine then prop the locking nut and then Dubro spinner. Ok where did I go wrong. HELP!!!
I could'nt help but notice that the more expensive spinners looked nicer where the prop seems to "blend in" and be part of the spinner what did I miss.

RE: Prop Spinner
Yep, sounds rignt... Dunno where you went wrong, or what teh problem is...
spinner back plate (with appropriately sized 'shim' to fit teh prop shaft, and the TE of teh prop blades against teh little nubs / stops)
prop
thrust washer (that thick washer)
lock washer (split type, BUT ONLY IF IT FITS. Some people / insurance bodies (MAAC) reccomend you put one on. Added safety. BUT make sure, that when all is tight, there is still about 3 threads on the prop shaft showing)
then snap on or screw on teh spinnner itself!
there are different plastic spinners, adn they more or less lookand wiork teh same. Some snap in place (Goldburg I beleive) and soem need screws (Du-Bro)..
Aluminum spinners (Tru-Turn, GP) require an 'adapter nut' which replaces the prop shaft nut. The spinner securing screw screws into this adapter, from teh center of the spinner.

RE: Prop Spinner
Yeah... I don't get it either. You didn't say what the problem is. I thought the same thing when I used my first spinner as far as the prop blending in, but then I realized that you don't notice the prop doesn't blend in when you look at the overall picture. Doesn't sound like you have a problem. Be sure the blades don't touch the cut-outs though.

RE: Prop Spinner
It puts stress on the blades near the root and can cause the spinner or propeller to fail. While it seems ok if it's just touching, you have to keep in mind that when the engine is revved up, there is a lot of centrifugal force that can cause things to be in different places while under load.

RE: Prop Spinner
Usually those spinner and props are made to fit together.
You can buy a spinner that is custom made to some of the larger propellers.
