Ok. About to mount new CATTO 3 blade and spinner . Definitely going to be using plane for Aerobatics and I remember how much the spinner in old Decathalon would move when rolled inverted . My gap right now (Sensenich metal prop varies from about .525" at bottom to about .255" at top of spinner to front of cowl . Obviously the less gap looks better but how much is enough to allow for engine movement? ....mounts seem to be in good shape I just think it was built this way as the gap difference would be the other way around if sagging mounts .
I am leaning towards the 1/2" gap as much as I don't like the look of it ...seems the safer option ??
What is experience out there with this ??? Perhaps not the issue I think ??
Thanks in advance. Stew
