Scale Spinner for Beaver
 
I have been looking for a scale, or semi scale aluminum spinner for a Dehavilland Beaver. (OS FS 120 engine).
Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

You can check with Bob at Tru Turn. If they dont have exactly what you are looking for he can certainly make something for you. I have had him make custom spinners for me before & he did it in a short time span......Gene

Do a quick Google of photos,,, there are many different custom set ups,,
I don't think originally it came with a spinner from the factory,, you'll have to just match what ever version your documents show

Show us what you modelling and we can maybe help

What scale is it??
The Graphic seams to show a p-51 style were as the photo seam to have just the OEM uncovered prop hub

I believe it is a 1/6th or 1/7th scale. 87" wing.
Im just looking for something close. I have an aluminum prop nut, but I would rather have a spinner which looks closer to scale. I am not building a scale replica, just want it to look good.
Thanks

you'll need the adaptor kit for the OS motor too

I checked out Towers link. I think that will work
Thanks for sending that.
Nice P47! I thought I would send a photo of mine, which I haven't flown yet. Too scared. I sheeted and fiberglassed with 3/4 oz cloth. I need to weigh it and decide if it's air worthy.
How does yours fly, and do you know the weight?
