Help! 3" Spinner needed!!

Now I know why I buy overseas. I cant seem to find anyone in Brisbane who stocks a metal 3" spinner!

Even Precsion Aerobatics are are out of stock!

I can get one from the US but will have to wait a few weeks and need it before then.

Howie at DA has em but they are for DA engines and not for my SPE40

Can anyone help?

3" isn't too big... Have no clue about Hobby shops there... but doesn't anyone carry a 3" Tru Turn?

Dont know? I fact I didnt even bother to compare as I figured it was for a DA so no way was it going to fit.

I might take up the prop bolt to DA and see if it comes close

Otherwise I may just have to get on the forums of owners of the SPE40 and see what they use.

Found a 3" spinner in NSW but I think it will need some major moding

How does your prop bolt on.
6 bolts?
or
1 bolt in the centre?

If it is 6 bolts than any tru turn should fit.
if it is a single bolt than you would need an adaptor.

Otherwise a PA carbon one would fit with no adaptor.

Or any spinner that does not use a centre bolt.
The ones with the little screws arround the back plate

Sweet! Re: 3" Spinner needed!!

All solved guys!

I just bought 3" True Turn from Desert Aircraft and just have to drill two additional holes on the back plate and I'm done!

Just need to find someone with a drill press.



Mmmm those DA engines sure look nice
