attaching props
Personally I'd throw that spinner away and go get a better one with decent knurlings both sides to grip the prop and the engine drive washer. I don't know where you are in Oz but the local shop here in Adelaide (Model Flight) has/had some really nice aluminium spinners for about $17 (can't remember the brand now though). In the meantime I'd go without the spinner, it sounds like an accident waiting to happen.
