Rudy I ran the prop right out of the box , did not check the pitch, but will when I get a chance just to see what it's like. Will check on the spinner from Tru Turn. Thanks
Thanks Larry, that's good news. I'm lazy so I like "right out of the box".
If it is any where near the APC 12 x 6 in performance and it is quieter and 1/2" more grd clearance, it sounds like a winner.
TruTurn spinners are beautiful. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
Go to their web site for more E spinner info. :

ALMOST LIKE CHROMEIf you want yours to look almost like chrome here are a few hints to add to the their web site instructions:
2. If you want to make a spinner, or a landing gear, real shinny then here is the best way to do it:
http://www.tru-turn.com/faq-29.htm It is not the polishing that does it, it is the SANDING that gets the job done. Look at your spinner or LG with a magnifying glass and you will see how rough it really is. This has to be taken care of waaaay before polishing takes place. Polish alone will NEVER take down the rough mountains in the finish, it needs sandpaper. I have done three of my 5" spinners and 3 pair of LG and they all have come out looking almost like chrome.
If you do this, try these: 1. buy lot's of latex gloves and use them on both hands all the time during the process. If you don't do this you will wish you had! Please don't ask me how I know this.
2. work over a kitchen size garbage container WITH a liner in it, have a little water in a plastic container for the wet sanding part. 3. have a large roll of paper towels at your side. 4. wear OLD clothes, it's messy! and ..... BE PATIENT!
It is not hard to do, just messy and time consuming. I would NEVER do it if I could pay for it to be done. I would have gladly added another $50 to the cost of my $180 spinner to have it come already looking like chrome!!!! The LG is a little easier, and well worth the effort but still I would pay to have it done, it is not a "fun" job. But the results are very rewarding, and with a little auto wax applied after your done, the shine will last for years.
Please let us know how you make out with your spinner. I have my MA 11x7 3B on order.
