The correct size spinner for the airplane is a 5 inch but some people are using 4 1/2 inch spinners. I have 5 inch spinners on bith of the ones I have.

The 33% scale size for the spinner is 4.6". I am installing a 4.5 ZN Line. I scaled down the full scale spinner from the prop manufactures web site drawings that had dimensions.

Ali,
Shill is right - 5" spinner on that bad boy. I know it seems that 90% of the people seem to go for the 4 1/2 due to the cost, but to do that you will have to mount your motor 1/4" higher so th spinner is centered.
I've got the 5" on mine looks great.

Default 5"

I have the 5" on mine too. I went with the bullet shape and that thing is humongous and looks out of place. If I was to do it again I'd go with the ultimate shape... same size.
