Flair also made a 1-1/4'' plastic spinner, was only able to get a single red one. You may be able to find one in the auctions sooner or later.

Many that do not remember the 70's (for one reason or another) would be quite surprised by the level of 1/2a stuff that was out there, really the golden era of this class of flying.
Sure was the heyday. The 60's into the early '70's was an era where a 1/2A construction article was almost as commonplace as a boring space-filler ARF review is today. The difference being that I would read the 1/2 article, versus glue-sticking the ARF pages together in protest.

I love thumbing through .60's and '70's mags. The technical resources were there, and mostly functional, but very primitive in comparison. Folks just made things work and had a great time, and took far less for granted.
