- Possibly the best spinner on the market (IMO) is Tru-Turn. They are
- expensive but once you try them I think you will be willing to put out
- the extra bucks. They come balanced, are extremely light (thats why
- Pattern flyers love them!), and look good. I have not had one come loose.
-
- The spinner, backplate and spinner bolt is packaged and sold separate from
- the hardware. The hardware consists of the prop nut, a washer and bushing
- to adapt the backplate to the crankshaft. There are prop nuts to support
- all thread diameters and pitch. Tru-Turn recently introduced a double
- jam-nut prop nut assembly for the YS 120 which works extremely well.
-
- BTW, I think it is recommended that metal spinners be used at RPM's above
- 12,000. I had a goldberg plastic spinner disintegrate on a YS .61 turning
- at 11K+, and that was during break-in!
