Re: 1.5" spinners

Re: 1.5" spinners
I had seen the Dubro spinners but, didn't think they had a spacer small enough to neck down to the 5-40 stud.
How did you make it work?

Re: 1.5" spinners
Didn't get spacers with my spinners - hole slightly larger but easy to centre.
This is obviously not a Dubro spinner - the plate is not between the propellor and the engine.
When I search for 1 1/2 " Model Aircraft spinner - I find loads like the one I have but in the UK. There is not makers description and they are shipped "loose" - no packets with labels.
http://www.rcmodelcentre.co.uk/spinner-rc/cat_60.html
According to this site the manufacturer is Radio Active
http://www.modelshopleeds.co.uk/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=32
They are

Sorry if this doesn't help.

Re: 1.5" spinners
PM sent (I don't know the manufacturer of mine either) It's OLD.. and I got it with some other used parts years ago. Could be a Dubro. Needs a 1/4" x 1/8" bushing (preferably the same thickness of the plate..) and fender-washer to fit a 5-40 screw/stud.
Re: 1.5" spinners
The best spinners that I've seen are the Aluminum ones from MP Jet, these are direct dropins on the Norvel engines too.
Second best, I guess, are the ones from Mecoa with an aluminum backplate, these also comes with adapters for cox engines.
The all plastic spinners I wouldn't trust for high revving applications....

Re: 1.5" spinners
Thanks Kris!
In a discussion with Roddie, he brought up that that rotational mass might load down the engine. It's a valid point, does anyone else care to weigh in?
I want the spinner to blend into the nacelle for a streamlining effect as well as an aesthetic look.
