My rear spinner came off during a flight from California to Colorado. The spinner tore away right where the plastic ring covers the pressure cylinder on the propeller. So everything behind that was gone. The next annual (after I had the rear cone replaced) the A&P said I had extensive wear inside the front spinner. They used a clear tape to reinforce the wear inside the spinner. I didn't fly the aircraft much until I could replace the front spinner. I had visions of the spinner going through the propeller, windshield, or hitting the rear propeller. That's also why I decided to perform a dynamic prop balancing this annual.
