I've got my engine hung and am getting ready to fit the cowling, but I don't

have a prop or hub. I do have the spinner, but need to know the exact size

of the constant speed prop hub to ensure proper spacing. I figured I'd be

able to insert a spacer between the spinner backplate and flywheel. I did

check archives and vans does have a note online but I really need to hear

some actual measured dimensions to be able to sleep at night. I'm sure some

would also be interested in knowing if the MT and Hartzel are dimensionally

the same. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

If you call a local prop shop they will most likely have an old Hartzell and

maybe an old MT prop hub laying around that they will either give to you or

let you borrow.  Just make sure it is a compatible hub for the type of prop

you are using, but I have done this twice and have two Hartzell prop hubs to

work with.  Any prop shop will know what hub is compatible with your model

number of prop.



Do not archive.

We used the dimensions on Van's web site to set the cowl for the RV-7 we

built before we had the prop.  After we set the prop and reinstalled the

cowl, there was interference.  We then had to re-cut the back of the

cowl to the fuselage and re-do that area, which then caused the cowl to

not fit as nice as we would have liked (it puts added stress on the side

hinges).  On my -4 and on my -10, we had the prop prior to cowl install

and they both turned out nice.



Not to say it can't be done without the prop, but my recommendation is

to have the prop and spinner on before setting the cowl and you know it

will be right and will be able to sleep at night.
