I wander why the SteadFast doesnīt use a longer prop spinner.. it would look more aerodynamic, just my thinking. Thank you for taking it to the racecourse.
There are not many that will fit that prop. Sam Davis has one but it is $$$. Short of that not many choices.

here's the deal on the spinner
I'd like a carbon fiber spinner like the furys and checkmate
I know where to get one and I know that they are about 15k
it also comes with matching afterbody
we could prob pick ip another 5 mph with that combo
as far as a prop fitting as long as it the right number of blade cutouts you can make nearly any of them work
I think a fury spinner would actually be the best

I hold your idea of the Fury spinner. From some graphs, a longer spinner may support bigger Mcrit in the cowling, I can see Mcrit =0,7- 0,8 aproximately. You know bigger Mcr means less drag yet , and the forward speeds of today are around M=0,5- 0,6 at see level.
This is only theoretical, I never experimented such things, just changing ideas.
But, as you say, itīs a matter of $$, so expensive!
Thank you for your time.

Thank you WW. Finally I cleared a big doubt about the SteadFast spinner. Thank you a lot.
