dunno what forum to post this in, so it goes here

I have been using a propnut like the one below ever since I started using APC props because I cant find a spinner that works with APC props without having to dremel it out, which I wont do for saftey reasons.

So, who sells 2" or 2.5" spinners (plastic for weight reasons) for APC props?

SIG spinners www.sigmfg.com are described as "designed to fit APC props."
The Hobbytown USA near me stocks a few of these.
There are 3 "real hobby shops" close to me also, and they do not stock the SIG spinners.

within an hour, I have 2 hobbytowns, and about 5 hobby shops, guess its time to start calling them all for that spinner type.

thanks for the info

And just for future reference, there's nothing wrong with "Dremeling out" a Spinner.

They are designed to fit the smallest prop feasible for that spinner size, so most of us need to open them up a bit.

i use the spinner nut on all my planes...a dubro spinner almost put my brother's eye out...it blinded him for three days...good thing it wasn't a direct eye hit...

P.S. he's fine now nut it ended his flying career...i got all stuff,so it worked out good for me...

Exactly right. And APC is one of the few manufacturers that will cut your spinner for you. I think it costs about $20, but it's worth it just to avoid the hassle and trying to make the cut-outs symmetrical.

the spinner nut isnt a problem, but if I replace it with a plastic spinner, the weight differance would be almost what I need to get more tail weight on my magic, instead of adding more lead weight.

I have been using Higbey Nuts on my magics, I think they are lighter than the dubros. And I also dremel out plastic and aluminum spinners, then balance them on a top flight magnetic balancer. A balanced spinner is almost as important as a balanced prop.

There is a very good thread in the Tips and Techniques forum on balancing spinners.
