hello to all
i am new in rc plane and i need a help.
please tell me what i must know about spinner. guide to buy one. diameter dimension (1.5, 1.75, 2 inch)......etc.
I will use one in my airboat (my first step in rc) and now for plane.

thanks, realdo

Realdo, Most RC Airplanes will tell you which size Spinner to get, but in most cases (especially with trainer airplanes) the size is not too important. You can get whatever size looks good.

Ok, in my case i'll use for my old airboat 1-1/2 spinner (os max 40 fp and 10.5x6 inch prop). i will use spinner only for engine start not for good looking. (until now with my finger).
Now i know something more about rc.
Next step is plane - s.p.a.d. - debonair. (price in eu is so high for trainer and other models - no Les than cca 100eu = 120 usd) maybe less but without more parts like us trainer packs.

Thanks again Mike and good luck

Realdo

One question more.
Dubro or Great Planes Spinner ??? (os max 40fp and 10.5x6 prop)

thanks

Have you considered a spinner nut ?

Why, nut is better ?
And when i order tower 12v starter (LB4201) must i order rubber insert too (MPRP1310) or this is included with starter.
Sorry for my beginers question but.......... i still learn.

thanks

Spinner nuts are the bomb unless you need scale looks. Dubro makes very nice ones. Get one and you won't look back.

Ok Spokman. I have one question more. Look previous post about Tower starter please.


thanks

The Tower starter comes with a rubber insert. If the big open end is too big to grab your spinner, or spinner nut, you can install it backwards and use the 'flat' end. I bought a replacement insert for mine that's designed for small spinners and spinner nuts.

The photo doesn't show it, but one end has a hole that tapers from 3/4" to 1/2" and it works great on spinner nuts, acorn nuts, and small spinners.

Ok Carrell, and thanks a lot. I hope the orginal rubber insert with tower starter will be ok with 1-1/2" spinner.

have a nice day

great answer I hate spinners

Me too, I usually use a Higley nut.

Ps a Higley nut is a spinner nut sold by Harry (?) Higley.
