Ask about the UV resistance of the resin.

I have the same awesome spinner. Mine came with UV resistant clear coat. It seems to be holding up good.

Mine did too. I may spray another coat or two on it just to make the pattern even deeper than it already looks! I have it sitting on my table in the living room because I like just looking at it. I may have to order another one for the plane!

Hey guys, sorry this response is so late. We use a resin that has UV protection in it.

Have you used this resin with UV protection for every CF spinner or from after a specific date? I have one of your early CF spinners (LOVE IT) and want to know if it has this "protection".

:cool:

We've used the UV protection since the very start.

The Catto spinner is amazing. My RV-8 has one on its nose. I’m still on the fence about painting mine. I’ll likely do so but it’s definitely not my top priority.

Vlad - I put too much work into my plane to credit the spinner with 10 of my hard gained knots.
