The propeller blades were put on today. The spinner was put into position and clamped. The lower spark plugs were removed and the propeller and spinner was rotated to be able to center the spinner. Once centered the spinner was match drilled to the spinner plates. The spinner and propeller were then removed. A gap filler was then fabricated per plans and riveted to spinner plate. Nutplates were installed on the spinner plates. The propeller was then reinstalled and the blades pitched as per plans. I came quite close between the two blades.
Time: 5 hrs.
