"From Robin's perspective, you CAN fly without the spinner, PROVIDED that the part is on order with them, AND all such flying complies with strict engine temperature control (the spinner being key to engine cooling). If flying does not comply with this, engine damage may result. Guy spoke of constant monitoring of gauges, ensuring good airflow by maintaining revs., taking it very easy etc. etc. "
Thanx for your feedback, all of you -and for goodness sake, loosen up!!
