Infield Engineering Bf 109 Emil 3-blade Spinner

These parts fit the 45" radio controlled Messerschmitt Bf 109 Dora model of my design.
This model was released as a free digital plan in the September 2016 issue of Model Aviation magazine.

The plan includes details to modify the Bf109D into a Bf109E or Emil. This spinner is the three-blade design to match the scale Emil prop.

The spinner is a 2-piece assembly. The nose cone snaps into the backing plate. The OD is 79mm. The length is 46mm. This spinner works well with an AXI 2814 motor with the prop-drive adapter..

NOTE: the spinner plate has been improved by adding two thin cylinders to the propeller hub pocket. These cylinders make the part easier to print. Break them both out and clean up the pocket area before use.

File Bf109-spinner_Emil includes both the spinner cone and its backing plate.

I have not printed this file. I made it for a buddy who intends to upgrade his 109 from a Dora to an Emil. It is derived from the tested Dora file, so it should work fine. But be aware that there may be a bug.

Follow the AMA Safety Code when using this part! Propellers and spinners that rotate at high speed are inherently dangerous. Use extreme care in fabricating and using this part. Use at your own risk!
