I am putting together a WH Extra Special. I purchased a Dave Brown Vortech spinner from my LHS. I realize now that Tom at WH sells these already cut for your engine and prop. I need help. Who can cut this thing to fit my Zenoah G62 and Bolly 22 X 10 prop (and do a good job obviously)?

Anybody can drill the backplate, if it is needed at all. Cutting the spinner is another story, can't help you there.

Cutting a spinner is not that hard to do. Go down to the local hardware store and get a bolt and nut combination thre diameter of the prop shaft long enough to secure the prop to the back plate. If you want to get really fancy, make the bolt long enough aand with the same thread as the prop adaptor nut so you can perfectly but lightly calmp the spinner over the prop. Use a magic marker to make the initial cut outlines, while being somewhat conservative. Use a small grinding wheel to make the initial cuts, but be careful not to try and take too much, too fast. A Dremel is NOT a good tool for the job. Re-install the spinner over the prop and make new guide marls for the final cutting. Use the grinder for the big stuff and a file used for sharpening chain saws for the fine stuff. Try not to make any sharp points at the base of the spinner, they always blow out under rpm loads. Polish to taste and go fly.

One easy evening will do the job.

Another option is to send it to DB..they will cut it for 5$ to whatever prop you tell them..They cut minie out for a MSC 22-8..I did order the spinner from them but Im sure if you sent it they would do it..They will drill the backplate as well...just something else to consider..

Thanks guys. I was thinking that I could do it with my Dremel tool but I didn't want to hose it up. I am on a budget on this build. A spinner doesn't cost all that much but I would rather put the money it would take to correct my mistake into servos or something more important than a just a spinner!
