Thank you for your quick answer.
I don't mean to be a bother but I have another question
I bought the Park 480 motor. Recommended were APC props, I started with 11X5.5
Using the prop adaptor that came with the motor and the spinner supplied in the Brio Kit, there is no way the spinner back plate will fit over the prop. The design of the APC prop holds the spinner back plate too far forward to even put the nut on the shaft. As far as I can tell, the instructions with the airplane seem to show an APC prop, but there is no way (I can find) to use the spinner. I imagine my first few flights will be without the spinner unless anyone knows of some way to mount it.
As far as a different type spinner, there does not seem to be any extra room to fit a back plate behind the prop and have enough threads to hold it on.
you are using an electric prop correct?? i use APC in both a 10x7e and an 11x5.5e and both fit the stock spinner perfectly with no trimming.
