| Subject: | Spacers to simulate prop for fitting cowling? |
First of all, happy new year!
Has anyone successfully used spacers (in lieu of the propeller) to fit the
cowling?
Vans has a note here that specifies the method:

Unfortunately, another builder says here that the lengths given above are
incorrect!?!

I would very much appreciate your experience one way or the other on this.
My father is coming down this afternoon to help out and I'd like to take
advantage of his time, but really don't want to make a big mistake either.

Thanks! Good article there.
FWIW, I've learned to first look for ice on my 10's stabilizer. It's
easiest to see there but I think that's because it is red rather than
white like the wing. Conversely, I've found it very difficult to see
ice on the wing. I once had a very slow degradation in airspeed due to
ice was never able to see the ice on the wing.
I've considered painting some kind of dark patch on the wing near the
left root so I might be able to detect ice ASAP and get the hell out of
there. Has anyone done that? Any ice detection pireps for the '10?

I used a Hartzell hub from an old prop for the cowl fit up (no blades).
Even then I took a dozen measurement to make sure it was the same as the
hub on the new prop. The prop to cowl spacing is such that I would not
trust a =9Cprop simulator=9D.
Ask around =93 someone might have a hub to use.

There are other variables that can screw you up. Spinner bulkheads and
spinners have differing depth. My MT spinner is a good 3/8" behind the face
of the bulkhead, so I had to rework the back of my cowling and adjust the
rest of it as a result of moving cowling back 3/8".
While it is a chunk of money to have the prop and spinner on hand in time
for cowling work, it is the only way you will get a reliable measurement.

Thanks for the input, guys. I managed to get a scrapped hub from a nearby
prop shop.
However, I've encountered one more snag---how long are the spacers that go
between the hub and the spinner backplate? The plans say they're supplied
with the prop and don't give a dimension. They're the ones indicated in
red in the attached drawing.
Thanks,
David

Wait until you get the prop and use those spacers.
