Propeller and spinner

Today I unboxed the propeller, which has been sitting in its original shipping box for about a year. I wanted to verify I had everything, and to see how it all fits together. I also decided not to install it right now, as my panel is coming soon, and I’ll be working on that next. Once I’m done with the panel, and all associated wiring, I’ll come back to the engine, prop, and the cowling.

I started working on the spinner mounting plate, which needs some match drilling and cutting to get the two pieces aligned. I managed to get all the shaping done, and to spray a coat of primer on it.
