I had just maidened my P-38 and had a great landing! Normally I would have gone home and given it a thorough inspection. Instead, I felt so good about it.... I gave it a quick look over. Put batteries in it and took off. Flying slow and scale like, about 2 minutes in...it dove into the ground from about 50 feet. Devestaded I went to it, the nose and both pilots were broken beyond repair. Not shattered, just crushed. The back plates saved the props and motors as they gave way first. I ordered replacement fuselage parts etc. because the power system and retracts were all salvaged. Cause of the crash was caused by the elevator servo horn pulled out of the foam. On the rebuild I installed a heavier duty horn that has a backplate. Something that it should have had from the factory. That elevator has more surface area than the ailerons! There is a lot of stress on it FlightLine. Recommend these spinner back plates. Note, the original spinner caps were not even damaged in the crash.

These fit well, and are upgraded (added ribs / stronger) than the original prop hub / spinners on my P-38. They work wonderfully and do not crack as easily as the original spinners due to the improved hub/backplate areas with the larger ribs.
