Title: Spinner for Brodak Vector 40 ARF?
Post by: Aaron Little on July 13, 2008, 06:38:29 PM

Just wondering what people were using.
I really want to go with a cheapy plastic on as I want something with very little expensive breakable parts

Thanks
Aaron

I like the Great Planes Spinners with the Aluminum backplate.

The 1 3/4" size is a hair too large for the Vector (although that's what's called for), but not sure what to do about it.

The gen 1 and 2 Brodak ARFs suffered from approval of prototypes that was too hasty, I believe. There are several instances where inches to metric translation suffered.
I know that John has recruited a team that has worked tirelessly on improving the earlier pieces and on trying to bring the very best in the next generation....
A 1 3/4" is what most are using. The Brodak aluminum spinners are nifty, except that they are cut for 6 pitch props and need work to run with modern engines...
Have fun!

I use a 1-3/4 Dave Brown Vortex three-blade aluminum spinner on mine.

Thanks for the responses

The goldberg 1.75 seemed to fit pretty good but i may want to use a 3 blade at some point so harley you may have the best idea

i just do not get to fly that much and i need a good practice plane that i have no attachment to at least fiscally lol
i will be using a magnum 36 i have used it in my ares and really liked the motor

thanks again,
aaron
