Wish us luck. I have ridiculously vain question - on the later 690's and 695's it seems like the prop spinner is slightly more "pointy" than an on the earlier models. Is this just a swap of spinner, or a different prop hub? -------- Adam Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=434571#434571 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:57:56 AM PST US From: Subject: Re: Commander-List: Re: Thoughts on Commander 680V Hi Adam, On the 680T/V/W/681, the spinners are painted fiberglass, whereas I believe they are aluminum on the 690 and up. I don't know if the backing plates and spinners from a 690 will fit over your prop hubs and blade roots. My first guess is that they would, but you'd probably have to do a full engineering study and get the FSDO to approve it on a 337 form. Also, you'd be changing the airflow patterns over the nacelle and into the inlet, and the rotating mass of the prop/spinner combination. Whether that would make any real-world difference is anyone's guess. Good luck on the pre-buy! As long as all of the maintenance is up-to-date and the SBs and ADs are complied with, I think it will turn out to be a smooth inspection with few, if any, surprises.
