The 2 1/4" long taper cones from Cermark are good for the speedsters, and
would work on the other plane as well. See how the are pointy, as compared
to a regular spinner ? This plane has a .60 in it.

The spinner size is usually determinded by the plane, and must be modified
to fit the prop.

nice plane dave

i picked up a apair of du-bro 2 1/2 spinners in my tower hobbies order w/o realy thinkin about how big they would be

and while it looks ok on my speed plane prop, it just seams to big when slapped on the spad , something more like a 1 3/4 would at least LOOK more fitting on the spad
