SPINNER's WHAT SIZE?
many things can determine the size, but there is a general size range for each engine.
Do you have a specific plane in mind?
Trainers - basically whatever the plans recommend. Many trainers are "open" fronts, where exact size is not crucial. On a 40 size a 2" should be fine.
Some planes you want to have flush with the fuselage...i.e. pattern ships in general have their spinner backplate the same diameter where the fuse or cowl starts, so that it looks like it's all one piece, and remains streamline.
Shape and length are determined by what most appropriately fits your plane, and that your engine can accept.
and on and on...
not promoting these, but maybe this will help, I went there for info too.
