After my previous post showing the process of fabricating a mold and rough spinner shell, I recognize the majority opinion here seemed to be that my effort was a waste of time and money. However, experimental aviation is about doing something you haven't done before and learning new processes. I tried to document and demonstrate a process that can be used to mold and fabricate almost any part, whether it's a spinner, a bulkhead, a cowl, or a wing skin. To follow that thought to it's end, I finally finished the spinner today and again documented not only the finished product, but the typical problems and errors one has to fix along with way.
For those that think I'm wasting my time and money, don't bother. For those interested in the process of fabricating a molded part from starting with an old or failed part to a shiny finished part on the plane, I completed the page on my web site at: <http://jeffsplanes.com/KR/Spinner/Spinner.html> -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM
