If that's it it should be fine. It says it comes with an aluminum screw, but I think that's a misprint, the picture looks like a black oxide steel screw which is what most of us use.

Here's the package.

I have a DuBro spinner, as previously mentioned it is huge. I've never run mine (yet).

I did weigh them:
Stock Cox unit = 2.95grams w/screw
DuBro = 11.6grams w/screw

11 grams... Wow.

Not very practical unless you have a very tail heavy airplane! Shocked

I posted this early this morning but I must have forgotten to click Send. But I'll try again:

Unless you like to fly slow and peacefully, this would be a good one to avoid. The weight of the spinning mass is extremely critical to the planes ability to perform aerobatics. If you ever need to add front end weight for balance, a little more weight back closer to the CG performs better than a slightly lighter balancing weight extremely far forward. In front of the prop is the worst place you can add weight.

I learned that from this article:

That big spinner is like a tuning fork on your crank. I tried mine on a old Babe Bee and once it came up to rpms, it was vibrating big time with a well balanced prop. Shut it down, took it off and tossed it in the parts bin.
