<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?x-tad-bigger>A few weeks ago Glen
and I met with the Tru-Turn folks so that they could size / evaluate making
a spinner to fit the Smaragd / Partner / etc. PL airplanes from Glen's
Smaragd and my Partner. They've completed a run of 3 3/8" FAI spinners with
lite backplates and 120 prop cuts and are shipping to suppliers now. The
spinner fits the Partner / Smaragd nicely. The part number is

That means that it will also fit Tony Stillman's Panacea, which several of us
are already building. I heard that Steve Kessler has flown his and is pleased
with it. It gives Todd Blose, B.W. Ponder, Greg Grigsby, John Fuqua and me
incentive to get busy finishing ours. Anyone else out there building a
Panacea?<BR><BR>Ron Van Putte</BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
