Adding a spinner will reduce drag

Don't have one though I might try making one.

You could make one out of foam

That's the plan! I don't have a 3D printer yet.

3d printed spinners are hard to balance too.

Yeah, @Jo's squadron found that out.

If I make a good template I will probably make plans for it!

Probably a Plywood base.

I need to revisit the design once my Prusa CORE One gets here.

Can't wait to see what you think of the CORE One. Did you go preassembled or kit?

Preassembled on the CORE One. I sold my MK4S to my son. That one I built from a kit as a MK4 and then did the MK4S upgrade kit. The build experience is pretty rewarding, but wasn't an option on the CORE One when I ordered mine. It will be nice to pull it out of the box and be printing in a few minutes vs. hours though.

It's sure tempting. I don't (yet) do any printing that requires an enclosure so I'm finding it hard to even justify the expense to myself let alone my wife. The MK4S is still sweet, it almost makes me forget the Ender 3

This, absolutely. I had a spinner on my chipmunk after a bunch of flights and I noticed a difference. I'll definitely be putting one on the P--39.

Maidened the nnP39 in some gusty winds today. What an absolute blast! It needs to go fast. This was my first speedwing and after I launched it and came around on the first pass I realized this was the first plane I've built where I didn't need any trim! The flaps made landing painless. In the paint booth as I type, and it's getting a Hobbyking spinner from the Durafly Galloping Ghost. Running the FT 2814 motor w/ 10x4.5 on 4s.

Nice! Hoping to try my NNSpitfire tomorrow with a 7x8 prop!

Well, this is the best it'll ever look. Four great flights today @ around 5min per. Still a little gusty so I didn't do anything crazy, but on high rates the aileron rolls are awesome.
