Karl,
Sounds like you’ve got a conundrum.
A look at the A6CE type certificate lists prop spinners along with governors and blades. The FAA defines “airworthy” as “conforming to the type certificate AND in a condition for safe operation.”
You may not be able to qualify for a ferry permit if the FSDO determines the type certificate language means spinners must be installed.
Alternatively, they may be swayed by the Mil-version of the type cert as an example of “safe condition to operate.”
Good luck—let us know how it goes!
