I have a new H9 T-Craft, my first big plane, and I’m trying to match a spinner with my Saito 1.80 and Master Airscrew 16x8. I purchased the largest 3” spinner at my hobby shop, and the prop won’t fit. I would like to get an aluminum spinner, and I understand the it screws into the shaft, but I can’t seem to find one of those that fits either.

In ideas as to which spinner will work with this set-up?

You need to purchase the Spinner size recommended by the kit (ARF, or whatever). The prop hole (95% of the time) will be too small. You will need to enlarge them with a file, or Dremel tool.

The aluminum sponners and a couple of types of plastic ones will need a prop shaft adapter. Its a very long nut with one end threaded to match the crankshaft and the other threaded to match the spenner retaining screw.

Because there are several different crankshaft threads... (1/4-20, 1/4-28, 5/16-20, 7 mm... just on my .60 size engines.) the spinner maker doesn't know which of these to include with the spinner... solution is... sell them separately. You generally can't hurt the adapter nut, so you only need one per engine. (and can move it to a new engine when the old engine goes bad) Thespinners tend to get cracked in crashes, so you end up buying more spinners... but not more adapters.

Go here for the finest aluminum spinners made. Call them, tell them what engine and prop, and you will have a perfect match:

These spinners are also available from other on-line sources at a slightly lower price.
