Paul,
Sorry I meant to answer this too in your last post. If you want a low cost E-spinner you can use the Great Planes ones. They do have to be modified slightly for the reverse props. Tru-turn, which you don't want, custom cuts them for us. I don't know of any off the shelf but if you do find an off the shelf one let me know

I have also been using the Great Plane - the transluscent plastic ones - with the prop opening re-cut for LH props.  The smaller ones (1.5", 1.75") don't look too bad with the holes cult to almost square and fitting over the nearly square prop hubs inboard of the main blade shape.

These are light and pretty inexpensive too.

Tom Morris has some aluminum spinners that are not high price, I don't remember the brand.

Paul,

I use the Great Planes ones like Dennis on most of my stuff. I have a few Tru Turns  they are real nice......but a little heavy and for the money.....I will stick with Great Planes, they work great, are fairly true.... and look just fine.

Do you now what the nose radius is?
In FAI F2B it is not allowed to have a sharp nose.

b) All spinners and other forward-facing metal or equally rigid projections should have a minimum radius
of 5 mm.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Robert-Jan

Robert,

They look great!

Paint will stick to them quit easily?

Are you taking orders in different sizes?
