Spinner for Top Flite AT-6 Texan?
 
I recently purchased a built Texan from a friend, but he didn't have the plans available. I am trying to find out what spinner type and diameter the kit calls for. Anyone out there have their plans handy?

You need a prop hub, not a spinner. Harry Higley makes nice ones.

Thanks, which one?

It depends on your engine, you buy it based on the crankshaft threads...essentially it replaces your prop nut and acts as a spinner at the same time. Which engine do you have?

O.S. 91 4-stroke. I think it uses 5/16-24 thread.

Tru Turn has a 1/5,1/6,1/7 scale spinner for the AT6

Yes it is 5/16 thread, you need the Higley aluminum spinner hub, SPN516.

The Tru-Turn AT-6 spinners are nice, but will be about ten times more expensive. If you are trying to keep this plane very scale then the Tru-Turn might be worth it, otherwise go with the Higley hub.

Higley hub may look fine, but I would suggest the Tru-turn if you can use the jam-nut adapter. On a four stroke you need to be concerned with the nut loosening and losing your prop and hub.

Thanks for the help. Anyone know a part number for the correct Tru-Turn AT-6 spinner?

Go to Tru-turn.com
You can choose the size you want.
Good luck, happy flying!
