Default Looking for 1-1/4" Spinner for 1/2A Shrike

Howdy yall,

As some of you may know, Lanier's plans calls for a 1-1/4" spinner for their 1/2A Shrike. I have already purchased the Dubro Norvel spinner. However, I really like the clean lines that the 1-1/4" spinner forms. I have searched for this size spinner to no avail - including asking Lanier (they suggested Tr-Turn). Any one out there now were I can get this tiny spinner?

Thanks!

Hobby lobby carries a 30mm (1-3/16) in three colors but they want almost five dollars for it!

I understand Brodak is coming out with a line of spinners, including 1 1/4 in.

Mpjet makes 30 and 40 mm aluminum spinners for electric and glow motors.

www.mpjet.com/catalogue/p11.pdf

I have not found any of the spinners for glow motors but I imagine they are around. I have had good luck making adapter collects for the electric spinners (they use a collet). In fact I have made a handful of drive washer/collet adapters for use with Cox reed valve engines.

I can post details/dimensions of my adapter if you make use of them.

Alex,
I used the same spinner you bought on the 2 or 3 that I built for local races and they worked great. All you have to do is provide a little more balsa inside the cowel area and then sand down the front area to match the spinner you have. It narrows the front area anyway for a faster more streamlined plane. Try it. Dale

Flare has the plastic 1 1/4" spinners, I have only been able to get one. Need someone from the island to get some and offer them to us here in the U>S>A> through Ebay or somthing.

The dealers here don't respond about them, so it is a hard find.
