Perhaps I am lucky Bob but many modellers used toggle switches,which petrol engines can vibrate them to fail drastically.I was in the mower business and many chainsaws and strimmers were fitted with these and I was constantly replacing them due to falling to pieces internally. The electronic and mag...

Hi Alan I’ve used slider switches for over 30 years and - touch wood never had a problem.These have been used mostly with various sized petrol engines.I’m not saying they can’t fail but so far so good,I always have used the h.d JR type ,which are now unobtainable I think.

It seems to me common sense that when using a shared site an RC pilot should have a mandatory spotter,then these incidents ,which do the rest of us little good ,wouldn’t happen.

Hi Rob I’m in the process of borrowing a Pup plan for you - will have it a the W/end. I used a 38 Zenoah in an SE5 I had - perfect engine with the weight in the right place,probably say the same weight wise for the Pup too,38s run well at half throttle and are ultra reliable - it would be my choice....
