I am new to R.C. and bought a crashed/damaged E-flight Asent electric sailplane. I must replace the "spinner" (this plane is missing the stock one). The prop and motor checked out fine.......it just looks bad. I don't know how to find a replacement that will work with my folding prob. I can't locate the company that manufactured the plane. Someone suggested Hobby-Lobby...........but the sell many different spinners.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Your local Horizon Hobby dealer can probably order the part for you. I don't know why you had trouble finding the manufacturer; all I did was type "e-flite ascent" (spelled correctly, it is written right on the plane fer crying out loud!) into Google, and I got a page full of places where I could buy the plane, a couple of reviews, and two or three discussion threads...
To make it aerodynamic, you want a spinner that blends in with the body of the plane. If you want to go the Hobby Lobby route, measure the diameter of the firewall, then order a "folding prop spinner" of the correct diameter.
It's sold by Horizon
