Cheers

Status: offline 		Which Mk.V spinner? There were several different variations. For the shorter and more blunt types the Brian Taylor Typhoon spinner is pretty close to a 1/5.5 scale Spitfire spinner.

That's the one that looks like it is poor quality.

There are a couple of guys running them on the Taylor Typhoon over at RCSB and I have not read of any issues.

I got my 1/5 from Dave Platt. for $50-60 3 years ago. Flying scale spinner is resin with alum backplate/groove and screw in the nose. http://www.daveplattmodels.com/Short%20Kits/index.htm


Another source is Richard Rawle in UK. http://rawleaviation.blogspot.com/p/accessories.html
Check out his 1/3 scale Spit.

Not in my book, that's why I have three of them and looking at #4. Well Chaps. I took a $46 risk and ordered a Mosquito spinner from Traplet and I will report back once I receive it. We probably won't know much until it sees the business end of a 3W50.
