Wanted 1/4 Scale sprug U/C for Precedent Stampe

[Neil Dixon]

Hello,
I am looking for a Flair Tiger Moth 1/4 scale sprung undercarriage. It would be to fit the 1/4 scale Precedent Stampe. Or if anyone has the plans or parts required to make a set. Many thanks in advance - Neil

Try the link above. Also page 115 has some info.

There’s lots of info on the thread, although it runs to 161 pages!

Cheers Peter I will have a look

The Flair u/c set for the Tiger Moth has become something of a Holy Grail to find. I have seen and assembled kit on a model and it was a first class set up using simple parts and some electrical fittings as I recall. It worked really well.
I was hoping someone would come up with something that would enable a copy to be made today. (I've looked at the Stampe thread but unless I have missed something I don't see anything. I'll go back and search through it a bit more.)

Has anyone got any photographs of an assembled Flair set that would help with re engineering a new version??

I havea Flair UC on my Stampe....works well.

Good luck with the search

Well, I do know of the existence of a full Flair unit, still sealed in plastic bags, as it came from Flair, But it depends on your budget, he is asking £100, don’t shoot the messenger, this is hens teeth stuff,

Thanks Alan,
Blimey, would he be open to an offer?

No harm in making an offer, he can only say yes or no, but, I reckon it may just be the only one out there, used to be loads knocking around,

Thanks David and thanks to Alan for sourcing the under carriage.

I just remembered he had them, it’s a hell of a way to earn a pint though!

I have come across a copy of the assembly sheet for the Flair TM u/c. The file is too big to post here and by the time it has been resized it will loose clarity. I will

e-mail a copy to anyone who wants one.
