The spinner was the one the ARF company offered as an add on when I purchased the plane 30 dollars...............it is a nice thicker carbon fiber spinner, looks almost as thick as an aluminum .........not one of the super paper thin type. The CF spinner was longer than the aluminum one I had so I did have to get a longer M5 bolt right around 3" long.

Anybody flown one of these and got a good handle on the balance? Mine balanced at 6" off the front of the leading wing edge right where the instruction put it.............that's a little over an inch in front of the wing tube.....I have flown a couple of arf's that were not even close to the recommended spot.
