Hi,
I've got a simple spinner question for you guys. I am currently trying to position the cowl for the proper gap between cowl and spinner.
My fiberglass spinner is slightly larger than the spinner rear bulkhead, leading to an extra 1/8-1/16" flange of fiberglass that extends aft past the rear bulkhead. The plans don't show any flange, but don't mention trimming it off either. (these are all stock Van's parts, for a fixed-pitch prop, 9A)
Are you guys trimming the two to match up perfectly? This will affect the size of the cowl-spinner gap, of course.
Thanks,
Paul
