Hi and thanks Eric. Here is a direct link for the best type of plastic spinner to use in the 21/4 inch size the plastic is thicker than all the others and backplate is aluminum with a capture grove on the perimeter. A single bolt holds the spinner to a propnut adapter.

Most of the guys will just use ultracoat colors for triming as they wish. The airplane comes just orange with two small white stripes on top of the stabilizer that are easily striped off then trim as you wish. In the pics the Spook and Le Don Dorato are mine and the lettering is easy at most sign shops, called vinyl grafics. Just tell them what you want and the size along with an idea of the letter style and they will make them up for you. Far better than any sticker they are micro thin without causing noticible ridges and will not peel from fuel. On my two ships the lettering on each airplane cost 10 bucks, five for each side.

We Race in three classes and the bronze airplanes do great stock with 46's. The silver work great stock with .61's and some sort of tuned pipe. The gold airplanes the YS 110 four stoke is king running 45% nitro. With the Golds the wing and stabilizer must undergo major mods and that is why Le Don Dorato has an all black wing as it was stripped when new for the mods.

These airplanes have proven to be the ideal first warbird and well as warbird pylon racers. They fly very well indeed. However they are not trainers and not suitable as a first or second airplane.

Here is an added picture of Le Don Dorato showing the graffics.
