Polishing that Beautiful Prop Spinner

Guest Discussion

Just wanted to post a thread to let you know that I have found that “Mother’s Aluminum Polish” works very well on keeping that prop spinner shinny. Very easy to apply and remove. Seems to keep the finger prints at bay as well. 50 hours on our SR20 and runs like a champ. However, we did lose our landing light at around 30 hours which I think is a bad design. Cirrus says they warrnt them for 20 hours.We’re still talking to them about that. Happy Flying…

Keep talking to them about the landing light. Mike Busch told me the bulb manufacturer warrants the light to CD for 200 hours, not 20. If you’ll return the bad bulb to them they shouldn’t charge you.

Landing Light History:
#1 - Never used. Failed at 5 Hobbs hours.
#2 - Never used. Failed at 30 Hobbs hours.
#3 - I decided to use this one. It’s on a lot. 146 on the Hobbs, and it’s still going strong.

Go figure…

This one is easy.
The element is flexible when on. (hot)
The element is bridle when off (cold)
Here is the test question?
How did you know it failed if never used? Ohm meter on preflight? or do you have a black box for landing light testing too.
:slight_smile:
Just kidding… Have a wonderful Landing lite on for Safety so you don’t have to test the chute.
