Dom,

Consider graphite?  Much stiffer.  Could epoxy resin system properties and/or irregularities in fabrication procedures have caused this?  Do you have photos?  What model Lancair?

The two spinner cone fillets of fibre glass have over time bent outwards inflight and need to be replaced.
One of them flared out to the point where it was rubbing slightly on the propeller.
Any recommendations whether fibre glass should be used in making replacements, or switch to aluminium? (sorry, we spell and pronounce it differently up here).
Thanks,
