<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No more plastic spinners for me unless they are
screwed or bolted together. I had one of the C.Goldberg snap together
disintegrate on me as I was starting it and this was flipping the prop by
hand. Needless to say I escaped with minor injuries. And this was on
a .40 size engine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Along those same lines....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I remember flying at the '95 Nats, and a discussion started with a
(well known) FAI flyer that was using a Goldberg plastic spinner. Several of
us commented that we would never use one of those spinners because we had
seen too many of them fly apart on sport planes, much less hold up to the
torque of a 1.20. This guy (who had financial interest in Goldberg) claimed
he NEVER had a problem with one coming apart. He just liked the P51 look of
the spinner, and it had NOTHING to do with the well known fact he had
financial interests in Goldberg.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The very next flight, the spinner exploded shortly after the wheels
left the ground. Flight zeroed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IMHO, if you want to know what is the best equipment to use, ASK
SOMEONE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR IT WITH THEIR OWN MONEY!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nobody is perfect, but a few people go to
great lengths to ignore and dismiss problems. I dunno, it sucks, but I
think when you have a problem and are told nothing is wrong or it's your
fault, something is obviously amiss. Then to hear you aren't alone, well
that does change things.</FONT></DIV>
