My PtF aircraft needs a new spinner.
Should be easy, I would have thought, to find lots of choices: aluminium, carbon, red, blue, white.... But alas no?
It is an O-360 A1A engine with a Sensenich 76EM8. Nothing fancy, should be thousands of that combination flying around? The current spinner uses a 300mm backplate and that looks about right on the cowling, although maybe a 320mm could be used.
But where to find a decent selection?
The closest I've come is DUC in France, here: http://www.duc-helices.com/ . They've been helpful over email and it looks like they'll be able to manufacture something which will work for me. But it's getting to be quite (very!) expensive
Does anyone have any other sources I should look at?
I will take my "finding the right size spinner cutout" experience into another thread...
