Default Wide prop Spinners ???

Can anyone give me some info on where to find some Inexpensive wide prop spinners? I know about Tru Turn but they are expensive.
Thanks for any help.

You can cut any spinner to fit any prop.

Espirit is a great fiberglass spinner, but for smaller planes, dubro, great planes, etc come to mind. If you want CF then go to troy built models

The hardest thing is getting both sides cut the same.
Make a template out of card and mark both sides.

As was mentioned, make a template of the prop blade and using a dremel it can be done easily if you take you time. I cut CF spinners all the time and have cut the dubro and great planes ones as well.

Here is a good article on how to do it. This is for thinner Cf and Fiberglass ones but you will get the idea
