Source for 3 Bladed Spinners
« on: April 22, 2016, 12:41:02 PM »
Does anyone know who makes three bladed spinners?  I've tried doing some searches, not coming up with much.  I've looked at some of the Tru Turn stuff, not sure it's going to work, plus it's rather expensive.

Thanks

Do a search on "3-blade" on the Tower Hobbies website and then follow your nose.  You have a choice between way expensive Tru-Turn or way cheap DuBro -- take your pick.

I can't remember if it's Tru-Turn or not, but if I recall correctly one of the spinner companies will custom-make cutouts.  Please please don't ask me who -- I just remember reading it in a posting here.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I get all my spinners from Tru Turn. They now offer lightened backplates. Solid if you need a bit of weight up front. Might be a tad more costly, but IMHO, worth it.

Yes, they will custom cut for a prop. Results are cleaner.

Both these models are sporting Tru Turn Spinners. My Stuka will also get a Tru Turn three blade.

Igor, can you please provide cost and ordering information?  I would be interested in a white 1 3/4" spinner.

Thank you

You are correct in your recollection sir. If you mail your prop to tru-turn, they will take an existing product and cut it for your prop. They also sell the blanks if you like cutting them yourself. If you send them your Prop and they have an existing product that fits with no modification, they let you know, and don't charge any extra weird fees. I call ahead before i mail stuff to them, of course.
