Thanks Dave....
thats the Brodak 1 1/4" that I bought for an RMS Pinto that I'm going to build after the deweybirds. I needed to moddify it to suit the 5-40 thread the cox engines use.

I assume so...

It's actually quite petite, I've seen plenty of plastic spinners that weigh more, I would estimate its weight at 5-10 grams. I started the BW with that spinner and a 6x3 cox grey running 15% nitro and it was turning @ 13500 RPM no problems, which considering the conditions today is not to shabby at all... about 30 deg C, 65% humidity, and 997 hPa

CP, I've run the 1.5" plastic spinners on my reedies for a while now without any effect at all and those are some heavy buggers. Getting them to run true can be a real trick sometimes, though.

hehe... I can understand that, the brodak spinners balance and trueness are spot-on, but we will see how it hold up after a crackup or two
