Status: offline 		Thanks for the info Dave! Where can I get the 4-3/4 carbon fibre spinner? It is not perfect but looks much better than what I am using now!

I agree that that manufacturer should at least carry the basic accessories needed to complete the airplane. Charles at Yellow Aircraft carries everything needed to complete the kits he sells. It is not included but available from him. I think on the big ESM BF-109 I will buy the spinner before buying the kit!

Regards, Mike

Status: offline 		Actually it was Dave Brown not Tru-Turn (sorry) who said they could make one for a thousand +. I asked how many pre-orders to get the price to around $300. These could hopefully be pre-cut for 2 or 3 blade props. Cutting spinners is not my thing....

Mike

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RC-Airplane-Accessories-Carbon-Fiber-3K-Spinner-4-75-/170718167395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf988163

or

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10178__Carbon_Fiber_Spinner_121mm_4_75in_diameter.html

will get you a 4.75 inch carbon fibre spinner for your Spitfire.

I watched your video link last night and my advice (and no disrespect intended here) is don't paint your next spinner yellow. Any item (in this case your spinner) that isn't quite right should be painted as least a conspicuious color as possible so people eyes aren't drawn to it to notice. I'd suggest a grey, duck egg blue or off white all in matt finish for the next spinner to blend it in. Hope this helps,
Dave

I don't know how much Tru-Turn would charge for a single spinner.

SPINNERS, SPINNERS SPINNERS!!!!!

All ESM aircraft owners take note; if you are seeking scale spinners for ESM 50cc Spitfire, BF109, F4U Corsair, P-51D Mustang etc., the UK link below has what you need. For example the scale spinner for the ESM 50cc Spitfire lists for 39.99(BP), not sure what the shipping charge would be to ship to where you live, but you can find the answer to that question by contacting them via the e-mail contact link in the web link below.

Currently 1.0(BP) = $1.60663USD, therefore the Spitfire spinner would be $64.25USD plus the shipping charge.

Status: offline 		Just in case you are not aware of the other thread concerning ESM 50cc aircraft spinners. Alanc from YT International posted the following response below to the availability of  50cc spinners.

Roger

try posting a question on here,  get an answer a LOT quicker than e mail
http://www.ytinternational.co.uk/forum/index.php?sid=730ef7c666294da8f5c8b40c30360926

But, in stock are spinners for the P40, & spitfire, 109 and FW190 are due in 4 weeks, domes prop nuts are also in stock for the corsair,  all planes are from the 50cc range,  TBM should also have, or be getting these in stock, postage would be expensive from the UK

Status: offline 		Who has the best scale looking wheels for the 50cc 109?

I was looking at the metal Sullivans and they are nice aluminum hub wheels, but too wide. The 109 wheels should be more narrow.

Emailed Shinden last week to inquire about their retracts, but no reply as yet. Guess I need to call the guy and see if he answers phone calls.

Status: offline 		Would someone mind taking a moment to explain how the hatch is secured Is this information supplied in the instructions and if so, could you shoot me a picture.. Or is this something else I'll need to engineer. Also some measurements of the canopy if possible. Since this is in-between the 1/4 and 1/5, I'm wondering if the canopy ( late version) from meister scale could be modified to fit, theirs being 1/4 scale.

Thanks. Will have one of these in route hopefully from VQ in the morning.. despite the strange hatch, I like the model and look forward to building her.

Keep up the informational post gents!

Hi Sonny, talked to Lenny last week and he had just moved his household and shop, but the 109 gear are his focus this month .

Status: offline 		I was dared to do something other then FW190's so I just got my order out through VQ.. My first I'm leaving the hatch alone due to the design with the ease of the access. However looking at the post, possible making the canopy function.

Can't wait to get the cockpit kit, I'll start my fun here. Ty, thanks for the video on the cockpit kit.. It may have been what sealed the deal! Are the fuse bulges you shown and the wing bulges an option to expect at VQ.

Getting a tail wheel fork from meister from their 84inch 109. It'll be nice to do something different for a change.
