Nice video, but I would be concerned at the crushing loads placed on backplate and alloy spinner. If the spinner distorts and contacts the blade it will notch the point of highest stress resulting in a scrap blade and prop overhaul, assuming the blade doesn't separate on first flight after the rope start I think the cap on the blade tip would be safer when a spinner is fitted.
