I'm looking for a long pointy 2" spinner... Back in the old days I think they were called "needle nose" spinners. Is anybody making something like this these days? Everything I see now is the short, stubby, and/or round nose type.

Ron,

Randy Smith has them. He advertises in Stunt News. Are you a PAMPA member? If not, PAMPA membership is $35.00 a year and the best $35.00 you could ever spend in aeromodeling!

I have over 80 absolute New In Box Veco Spinners of all sizes, still in their original tissue. I am selling these for a flying buddy.

Prices are kind of high (supported by ebay experience), but give me a holler if you are interested.

These things are perfect, though.

Seems they are usually out of the ones I want. Be careful if you use a starter on one of these. Had a beautiful black CF Stalker spinner I put a starter on and it twisted up the front of the carbon something terrible. Hand start only is my recommendation on those.

Maybe the US is different, but these spinners are no longer legal in the UK for safety reasons.
