rebel prop

[Walter Klatt]

I went through that last year, and it is not a small job, and
requires a lot of patience. However, I did have the good fortune
of being able to watch someone else do one before tackling my
own. Basically though, I just followed the instructions that MAM
supplies and it worked out OK. I also took it to a machine shop
(another fellow builder so it didn't cost me) to drill the holes
in the bulkheads to ensure accurate hole spacing and centering. I
did use a different forward bulkhead, although I think the one
that MAM supplies is OK. The first one got screwed up with our
first attempt at drilling holes. I did not have any pre-made
templates with mine.

One additional touch that I did, is curl the edges around the
prop cut-out. That is supposed to help prevent cracking in those
areas.

I think if you search the archives, you will find additional
discussion on this topic.

Good luck, you will need it.

Walter

I have a MAM blank spinner and need to fit it to my
Sensenich prop. I
probably need to buy, borrow, or build a template
prior to attacking the spinner.
Any suggestions about how to proceed are welcome.

Take a piece of crate paper, make a template leaving 1/4" space around the
prop. Make sure your template is as large as the spinner so that you cut out
both sides of the blade from one piece of paper. use this to mark the
spinner.All this should take about half a day.Flush the spinner and backing
plate at the back, install two screws opposite each other, level airplane,
turn prop to make sure spinner is true. Mark centre of spinner on a piece
of wood with the other end on the floor. As you turn the prop the centre
should stay centered. This is not easy because as you turn the prop the
tires want to move a little. You'll get it.

Good luck
Murray
