Thanks Bob

Hi Dave I’ve always used the JR heavy duty switches but am finding them hard to get.My local hobby shop has runout.

P.M.sent

Hi Dave yes the Mackay 30 uses the same system with a Walbro carb - so it may be sortable,but for what it costs for a set of gaskets
I think I would persevere with the Bing carb initially.

Cheers

Pete

Not sure if a swap would be easy - the heat sink may be a problem.

I have several scrap Walbro carbs - could send you one if you want a look - they have come off mainly chainsaws but I have one off a Zenoah somewhere.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Chris just remembered the Bing carbs were fitted to some Stijl chainsaws - spares listed on eBay

Cheers Pete

Hi Chris you could try Rowena Motors Bangor N.Wales - tel no 01248 715552.He also has a website.

If he hasn’t got them he may know where to go

Hope this helps

There’s a guy in Tasmania on the rcscalebuilder site who builds very large models and uses tremendous amount of lithoplate and always uses double-sided tape - obviously strong variety .

Pete

Why do I get the feeling they are taxing our hobby?
It really doesn’t get near the root problem but makes a little more sense than the earlier proposals.

NOW SOLD

If anyone is interested - make me a sensible offer

Hi Rosario ,it depends what you are building - for white glue I use the blue bottle Evostick,available many places. For epoxy both 30 minute and 5 minute I use Zpoxy and for very high stress e.g.firewalls I use hysol. I only use very limited cyano - Zap thick and thin.Using the thin for joining bals...

When we get chance to give it a go I’ll let you know,at the moment so much rain and cold weather our field is a bit soggy.

Thanks for replies - I know nothing is conclusive,but it does seem as if there is something. What prompted the question was one of our members,who is very careful with his flight prepping,lost a model which has had many trouble free flights. It seemed like the signal just blanked out .When tested af...

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...
