Light Speed Engineering's composite spinner features a shape specifically designed for optimized airflow in the hub area of pusher airplanes. A similarly shaped spinner has since been used on the Beech Starship and the Piaggio Avanti.
Minimize weight where it hurts most! On average, spinners weigh only 8 oz. when painted. Quite an improvement over the typical 2.5 lbs. aluminum spinner.
Up to 1% increase in speed has been measured over the common AC-1 tractor shape spinner with the same flow guide (forward fairing). Additionally, the composite structure will not fatigue as aluminum does. This spinner fits the 10.125" bulkhead and flow guide made by Aircraft Spruce.
