SteadFast spinner

I wander why the SteadFast doesn´t use a longer prop spinner.. it would look more aerodynamic, just my thinking. Thank you for taking it to the racecourse.

Re: SteadFast spinner

There are not many that will fit that prop. Sam Davis has one but it is $$$. Short of that not many choices.

Re: SteadFast spinner

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

Re: SteadFast spinner

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, it´s 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.
