Title: Dimensions for Sterling Corsair "Spinner"
Post by: frank mccune on June 21, 2017, 11:51:52 AM

      Hello All:

      I have a very nice Sterling Corsair that needs a realistic shaped and sized spinner.  I can have one made to scale but what size would it be? I do not have the plans for reference.  Perhaps one of you Scale guys can help me with the dimensions and shape for a scale "prop nut."

                                                                                                              Tia,

                                                                                                              Frank McCune

     I didn't know the Corsair ever had a spinner unless you mean the cover it had in front of the propeller that cover the shaft from the engine? An acorn bolt?

What ever you call it , for a 36" span model it is 1.07 long, from the front of the prop hub and ,58 inch in diameter. I think Mecoa might have an an acorn nut that is close.
