Spinner recommendation
Hi Folks,
I'm running a Saito 1.15 and an APC 15X6 prop.
Does anyone have any recommendations in an aluminum spinner? What size would work best and what type/size of an adapter would I need?
Thanks!

I second that, Tru Turn does make a nice spinner, plus they are balanced very well. It's worth the $$.

RE: Spinner recommendation
Spinner size is determined by the model, not engine selection.
While Tru Turn spinners are nice, there are other. less expensive options that work quite well. I just purchased a Dave Brown spinner, cut for my prop, for $42.00, delivered. http://www.dbproducts.com/

If its a sport plane, simply choose a size that just looks good. Not too big, not too small. If its a scale plane or a sport plane with a cowl, it's customary to have a spinner size that matches up with the cowl.

RE: Spinner recommendation
Maybe I jump the gun before I thought this thing out. The Dago Red ARF comes with a 2 blade spinner which measures 3 3/8" I purchased a 12x6 3 blade prop and forgot to look at spinners. As I'm looking at spinners I can't find one that is 3 3/8". Should I go 3 1/2" or 3 1/4"? I can't fine any plastic ones either. Can't really afford the metal. As always thanks for your help.

Speaking of jumping the gun, I now read that you are looking for a thee blade spinner. Who jumped the gun, now ??? I should've paid more attention, before posting.
Although there may be, I'm not aware of 3 blade plastic spinners.

RE: Spinner recommendation
Would something like this work. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHBS9&P=7 or would that just look to stupid? I'm trying to find something to put on my VQ Dago Red. I want to put a 3 bladed prop on it. I found a 3 bladed spinner but I just can't convince myself to spend the money.

Good quality spinners with aluminum backplate. I usually get blanks and cut them myself.

Thanks. I think you're right. I guess I'll break down and just spend the money. I think I'll skip the house payment this month

RE: Spinner recommendation
Thanks but I can't seem to find the right size even. The max is a 3 3/8". I'm not sure is a 3" would look ok. Never simple[>:] If I though a 3" would look ok I would just buy the Dubro 3" 3 bladed spinner. What do you think?
