Re: aluminum spinner - ACS SN-4?
Peter,
I have a Dynamic Prop Balancer which actually makes it fairly easy to balance the whole assembly in one step. The FAA calls for a balance if over 2.0 IPS (I think) for certified airplanes? Mine is balanced to .05 IPS with a near 0 phase angle. It makes the engine pretty smooth. The additional problem however, comes from the harmonics of the airframe as it cuts through the air. You can get a good ground balance and still have vibration at certain RPM's in the air. You just have to play with the dynamic balance to compensate. It would be so nice to be able to balance the whole thing in the air at a particular cruise speed. Regards, Jim --- In Q-LIST@..., "Peter Harris" <peterjfharris@b...> wrote: cone.

Re: aluminum spinner - ACS SN-4?
David Chalmers <David@...>
Thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye on it. I agree with you - purchasing and installing a spinner is a big PITA. ACS don't give enough information about each spinner and don't seem to really want to sell you one. In the end I bought several to figure out which one would work. Getting the darn thing to fit the prop and be dead straight is a project in itself. If you could buy one pre cut for your prop it would be worth every penny.

N200QK EAA Flight Advisor As another point no matter what you do there will be relative motion between. the two pieces. The Tygon tubing cannot move or strain to absorb this motion. The urethane and other softer elastomers can absorb the strain and if the hysteris of the material is low then internal heating will be small. Caution: Some rubbery materials suffer from internal heating when constantly strained. I have limited experience with spinners my aluminum one and backplate were cracked when I bought the plane. I bought a composite spinner and backplate from A.S.& S. and could not bring myself to put it on my airplane. I made my own backplate and spinner out of carbon\epoxy. The back plate has the 2" offset conic taper from the hub to the rim of the spinner which stiffens the backplate. I ran a front bulkhead with a tube around the perimeter and it would not stay on the rim because the plate was not restraned in rotation. I do not endorse this across the board but I have not run a front bulkhead for 300 hours with my setup. As for material choice IMHO: Glass is strong in tension and compression but it is not stiff so it moves around a lot under low loads. Kevlar is excellent in tension but poor in compression and wicks moisture. It is extremely tough and fairly stiff, finishing is a real pain but can be done. Carbon fiber is strong in tension and compression usually at least as stiff as aluminum in a laminate and does not suck up water. Down side is cost and when it is electrically coupled to aluminum it makes a battery, but can be isolated to mimimize the problem. Regards, One Sky Dog

In my experience Kevlar is very difficult to make clean non-fuzzy cuts. I would recommend the aluminum spinner with the aluminum back plate. Spruce has a limited number of front plates available. As already mentioned, the geometry of the front plate is dependent on the prop thickness. There is a very long lead-time (months) ordering spinners and back plates from Spruce and they don't always fit perfectly. It might not hurt to order two back plates and keep one as a spare. Each one is custom made, since they drill the bolt pattern. The O-200 uses the SAE 1 pattern with 5/8" bushings. I tried the plastic tubing method for the front plant and it failed on me, so I fabricated my own front plate using Kevlar. Carbon fiber probably would have been a better choice. I installed nut plates and use four screws to attach the spinner to the front plate. I have probably installed six spinners in the last 20 years. For me, it's a real pain in the rear and gut wrenching experience. Overall, I am very dissatisfied with the ACS product support and customer service.

Re: Prop Choice
Peter Harris <peterjfharris@...>
Ralph my Q2-Revmaster was fitted with a Cowley wood prop 56"diax49"pitch and that was the perfect match. 2850rpm static and climb at 90mph and 3200rpm WOT cruise at 140KTS CAS at 1500ft.

3200rpm = max power 75hp. Take off roll was about 900ft and climb rate 1100FPM at 90mph. Peter

No spinner looks unfinished and how about the effect on airflow into the cowl ?

Jim I just realised I missread yout misspoke ! But if you can balance the whole of the assembly including the prop, the spinner and bulkheads that seems like the way to go ?

Thanks Jim. Sounds as if you have the means to balance as good as it gets.

Peter, I have a Dynamic Prop Balancer which actually makes it fairly easy to balance the whole assembly in one step. The FAA calls for a balance if over 2.0 IPS (I think) for certified airplanes? Mine is balanced to .05 IPS with a near 0 phase angle. It makes the engine pretty smooth. The additional problem however, comes from the harmonics of the airframe as it cuts through the air. You can get a good ground balance and still have vibration at certain RPM's in the air. You just have to play with the dynamic balance to compensate. It would be so nice to be able to balance the whole thing in the air at a particular cruise speed.
