your not the first person to have difficulty with spinner. on some typhoons its on there fairy snug. to pull off spinner just wiggle it side to side while pulling it. i posted this to another typhoon owner and it worked for him as well as on mine. once youve tryed different props a few times it will be easier to remove the spinner once its worked in a little. heres a video of mine with a 1320 lipo.. 2 ounces lighter so it floats even better and still has good punch with 13.5 prop http://media.putfile.com/Typhoon-4-9-2006
