Re: Fw190 Spinner

The measurements provided by miraul correspond to Fw 190 A/F/G spinners.

The prints specify 510 mm as a diameter, and 570 mm as a total vertical (without base plate and band.)

I cannot find the CD that has the ogive drawing and equation. I'm still looking for that set of CDs and will provide the drawings when I find them.

Interestingly enough, the ogive does not appear to be consistent as the series progressed. Ask schwarze-man, but I believe they were constantly fiddling with the airflow into the fan. And also, each prop version had its own spinner. This topic is actually quite complex.

Thank you, miraul, for a fascinating post.
