When I took off the spinner and inspected the backplate, there were cracks in the plate and the doublers. Furthermore, the rivets had pulled apart in some place as much as 3/32 inch. I strongly suggest regular inspection of the Lancair spinner backplate - especially if you are using the Hartzell Constant Speed prop. Scott Krueger LNC2 N92EX
