    Hi Gordon and thanks for that because I suspected as much. I think I will just make something with MDF which will be more sturdy.

    I have been looking at the Dremel 231 Router Table. What interests me about it is that a small drill with a drum sander in the chuck can be secured to the Dremel Table and used to shape virtually anything except that they look a little flimsey in the pictures. Has anybody owned or used one? Steve

    Hi gents, I am about to start a build where Aliphatic or carpenter's glue is recommended. I have not used Superphatic before and was wondering is it actually a good alternative to Titebond Aliphatic or just a convenient one, without the fumes, to CA. My main motovation for using a wickable adhesive is so that I can dry assemble as much of the fuselage or wings as possible before finally gluing it and I would like to be confident in the knowledge that the joint will be as strong as a normally glued Aliphatic joint.

    Hi Steve, that is the best one stop modelling tool shop I have seen and they have a set of small combo spanners that I was looking for. Ernie, I take your point about the Proxxon. I am currently at work at sea and I was checking the various tool distributors at home on line but obviously I had not seen that one that Greybeard kindly checked on. Tools, like most imported goods, are generally a bit more expensive at home then on mainland Europe or the UK but it will still be cheaper than shipping one from the UK. Trevor, I fully appreciate what you say about not knowing how you managed without a sander. It is because I have been reading through build threads and sites like Airfield Models that has conviced me to add the sander to my tool inventory and no doubt it will be more than a "nice to have". Thank you all for your help and information. Steve

    Thanks Linds. I started looking on line for a Minicraft Sander and it seems they are no longer being made. You can get plenty of accessories for them including discs so I will have to bide my time till I find something. Around this time last year I was going to purchase a scroll saw for about 140 GBP and have it shipped to my home. I just happened to walk into my local Lidl store and I got a Parkside Scroll saw for 69 Euro. Steve

    Hi Linds, If I got a couple of years out of it I would be happy. We are only talking about stick and sheet balsa and the odd piece of ply.

    I have been wanting to buy a bench disc sander and I have not been able to find one where I live. The price of shipping one from the UK is nearly the price of the disc sander itself. Has anyone tried the Mincraft Mini Disc Sander? It looks light enough to be shipped at a reasonable cost.

    I just purchased one of these. **LINK** Maybe it's extravagent but its Christmas. I have been reading great reviews about it.

    Hi Peter and thanks for your input.As always, you have come out with some very good information. The only spec info I have is 6A 1000V however the shop I bought them from is a local electronics supplier with a good reputation. I subsequently took the measurements with the receiver and servos connected up and it had the desired effect with a reading of 6.58V and 5.86V before and after the diode respectively. I have not had my tester calibrated but I expect it is near enough the mark as it is a new Graupner clamp meter. I will double check with a new field tester I have and let you know. Again, many thanks gents! Steve

    Hi Miichael, you were absolutely right. I completely forgot about measuring the voltage with everything connected up, thanks
  25. Stephen O'Neill
    I have just purchased some 6A diodes to reduce the voltage from my 123 Rx batteries. I was expecting to get a 0.7V reduction across the diode but only getting a 0.2V. Please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject but I would welcome some guidance on where I am going wrong? The markings on my silicon diodes are: 6A100 A38
