We're about ready to install the GSC 3-bladed prop on our 912 on a KFIV. Is the aluminum backing plate (in the center of the attached photo) used in this installation?
thanks

Chris,
I have a Warp Drive propeller with the same plate you have pictured. I attached the plate over the fiberglass "back plate" of my fiberglass spinner. As you look at the propeller standing in front of the plane, the prop goes on the engine propeller flange, the spinner back plate goes on the prop, then the aluminum plate goes on. Bolts are then slid in place torqued then saftied at the head (if yours is set up that way). Even with the aluminum spinner I used to have, it was done that way.
This is the way my setup is done. Yours might be different (i.e.: spinner backplate behind the prop hub)
I called Warp and they told me to definitely used that thick 3/8 inch (?) plate.

I am a little confused. I thought that is a crush plate, only for the front of all wood props. Never seen it used as a back plate.

Dwight,
I too was a little confused about this when I bought a larger spinner to replace my small 7inch aluminum spinner. I called Warp and they told me that yes indeed that plate needs to be on top of the spinner backplate. My new spinner was fiberglass so I can understand why the aluminum plate needs to be on there (the spinner instructions also said to use it) I guess it acts like a giant "fender washer' holding everything in place. Warp did say to use it on an aluminum one also (as mine had when I bought the aircraft)

Dewight ,
Let me clarify this a bit. The back plate of my spinner goes on the front of the prop after the prop is mounted to the engine prop flange,then the flat crush plate,then the bolts are slid in place,saftied,spinner then attached. Some spinner back plates go behind the prop.
