What do you need it for, I have one I am busy on if interested pm me .

Thanks hope it's suitable.

Tool in prototype stage tips to unscrew as per a leather punch so various sizes can be fitted, well that's the idea, the pics show impressions made in Ali covering, the tool can be made heatable but if used on primer which is not yet dry it works well , the fact is Phil I may in all likelihood just ...

Yep me too but I made this one, the spikes are in fact 2mm studs mounted on a nylon base, so I get round marks.

Thread edited and few pics posted more to follow

Prototype and samples busy with more accurate tool but slow going so here are a few pics just to show how simple tool is.

I have been experimenting for a while with a rotary tool I have made for simulating flush rivets and with a simple addition panel lines can be made too. Despite selling most of my models I have a 1/4 scale spitfire which I have used to experiment covering in Ali tape and marking panel lines etc. So ...

Great looking plane and hope to see it flying soon

Yes I also read about his planes over there, I thin...

sorry just a bit of clarity the bearing in the bendix helps the gears to mesh as you face the gear to roll in the free wheel direction when it engages, you also need it for when the engine fires or the starter can lock in, then you have a generator at the least or a big big problem. these are not th...

I built my system over two years ago, it is really easy to do but use a motor with a planetary gearbox, the gearbox should be about 1:5 and then the gear on engine as close to 1:5 as you can again. on a 50cc petrol a brushed cheap 600 can turns the engine easily, the secret is to have a decent bendi...

Hi Dave no issue the system will be done this weekend for the other side and then finished, I have also been threatening to do a build thread on an onboard starter for model aircraft such as the one I built for my Christen Eagle see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrIfNCg2o1E , if you feel there will...
