In my first 500 hours I lost (cracked) 3 backplates. Now I have 1,450 hours and no more cracks. My mechanic put a bracket on the front of the spinner mounting it to the hub. That bracket seemed to work. I always have my props dynamically balanced. I am now using an Aero Composites constant speed prop.

Steve, it must be a fairly common problem on the 360s. Mine had the same issue last year an annual time (at around 340 hours). Also, same response from Lancair. My A&P ended up fabricating a new one using the old one s a template. He also beefed it up for additional support. I was unable to find
anyone with an extra at that time. Good luck.

...on my 360 MKII and found the spinner backplate was terribly cracked...
