fiberglass spinner C/S cut out

exercise

Well Known Member
Hi Guys,

The template Hartzell sent me to cut out the 13" Vans fiberglass spinner for my HC-C2YL-1BF/F7663-4 2 bladed Constant speed 72" propeller is not for that prop. Another guy did not have good luck using it for his F7663.

Does anyone have a better template or suggestions on getting the cut right the first time?
 
Find someone local with the same prop and spinner. Buy them a beer, and while they drink it, pull their spinner dome, put it over yours, and trace the opening. Measure the amount that the domes DON'T overlap at the base, and use that number to bias the traced hole in the correct direction.

I just did this, and it took about five minutes (minus the beer drinking....)

Paul
