Edge.. sent you an email with the details etc. I was going to use it in my Mick Reeves 1/3rd scale Bristol M1 but it just wouldn't sound right. WW1 models aren't supposed to be quiet so a Zenoah 80 twin is going in. Cheers. Shaun.

I'll pm you later today when I've got it out and found out the exact specs. 👍 Shaun.

I have a brand new one going spare if you're interested. Turnigy (can't remember exact model ) 50 to 80 cc equivalent depending on prop/ lipo pack. I have another identical one in a 1/3rd scale Dalotel on 12s model was designed for a 60cc petrol motor. Shaun.

Forgot to add, due to it been a public park you need a BMFA A to fly solo but we have instructors who can stand with you if not whilst flying. Hanger Queens welcome just come and join in the fun and banter.

No problem , that's more of us who've had a good experience with this switch.

That's the one I listed. Good quality switch with a decent current rating. A very small price to pay when you consider the cost of a model; that's assuming you can solder well. 😀

Agreed re cheap switches. Recently bought some from China to see the quality. Looked good externally but cr*p. They hadn't even paralleled the contacts together on the slide switch for resilience. Also a so called heavy duty switch had a small slide switch in the moulding. Worth it for the plastic mouldings though. I replaced the slide switches with some quality RS ones. Still what do you expect when they only cost a few quid. Caveat Emptor definitely applies here. If you can find any genuine Multiplex ones they are truly excellent.

I've have a Mick Reeves 1/3rd scale well on the way to being finished. There is a slight under camber (about 3/16") but it isn't a problem when covering. I coat the ribs with a fabric glue ( looks like PVA) and when the covering is ironed on to the ribs it holds fast when shrinking. Not sure about the wing section of other manufacturers. Seagull do a nice 71" span 1/5th scale ARTF M1. I've seen them offered at a reasonable price second hand. Shaun.

The Bristol M1 is a great plane. Only one wing to build, simple rigging with good ground handling and in-flight manners. It should have been the Spitfire of WW1 but with resistance to monoplanes at the time it never was able to show it's true potential. There also some interesting colour schemes. Shaun.

Just watched it, great fun. Maybe we should all start going to our flying fields and comps suited and booted again; and don't forget the trilby, fedora or peaky blinder beret. 😄😄

Hi Nick and welcome. What town are you located in please? Rgds, Shaun.

Fly it to get trimmed with the DM 3 then use the 1+1. All bases covered. 👍
