HD Velcro is what I'm using - you used to be able to buy it in 10m rolls which I did app 10 years ago if not more - lasts forever!

Sounds good - it would be good to see a bit more detail if you can manage it?

I have decided to give HD Velcro a try with Albert - I've also cut him down a bit to reduce wind resistance.. I note Denis has a "cockpit" of sorts whereas Albert sits on the wing albeit behind the dash cowling - I might give Albert a small "back rest" after all he is pretty old now! This pic is still a work in progress

Hi, Many thanks and good info for the future. In this instance Pyramid models came to my aid with an excellent set of matt black self adhesive "decals" designed for the "Maggie" J

Hi, Looking for any useful contributions as to how I can resolve these issues please............. My Flair Maggie is nearing completion - covered with genuine solartex - but I'm stuck with two issues How to best achieve the Maltese Crosses on wings and tail................ How to fix the pilot (Albert) whilst keeping him removable for storage - will proper velcro over the entire base work?? Thanks for reading this..............

Ha........I had a switch fail in mid air yesterday thankfully with very little damage I didn't hit anything just a gentle roll in very long grass in the next field.- I suppose its always good to practice Dead Stick situations. I can only assume that the switch failed whilst turning it on.

Just had my maiden flight with this exact same combination and it flys a treat on an old club hack Boomer converted from IC

Hi, This is an old post but if you are still reading - did this set up work well got an old boomerang which owes me nothing and was thinking of this motor in an elec/4s conversion - can you remember prop size and esc size by any chance. J

No white cap on mine the black rubber valve is on the inside face of the wheel and the inflator just pushes through the middle - BUT as others have said don't be tempted to over inflate

Just giving this a bump - its a good deal 20% off

NOW SOLD

NOW REDUCED £85 plus £10 postage

As new boxed and unused The picture has the detail including the invoice This was bought for a project which never got off the ground! The mount only was fixed in a plane hence it has a couple of minor marks but the motor/esc was never fitted and is truly as new. £42.50 posted - PayPal F&F preferred

Bought for a project build but sadly it is physically too big Bought from the original owner who was a retired club member selling up not run by me but if I hadn't been comfortable with its pedigree I wouldn't have bought it. Hand turning compression is excellent and it feels smooth and the condition is VERY good see photos - believed to have been recently serviced at a reputable specialist. Instructions and generic box priced to reflect sold as seen £95 plus £10 postage - paypal please

New JE starter arrived and VERY pleased - just the job ergonomically much better than the Sullivan for my hands and a nice light touch switch - thanks to all (incl Just Engines) for your help J

Old Sullivan now sold so new JE (the smaller version) now ordered Thanks for all your help guys. J

Glad to have started what seems to be a useful topic but its done its job for me so I won't be reviewing future posts many thanks guys - really helpful

So given all of the above it seems that the JE is probably the best choice for me - thanks all. I was only pushing as I know of an Align as new on sale for £50 and it won't hang around for that but if its for hellis then that explains its switch layout Thanks to everyone. J

Sorry your "nope" is not quite clear (to me) are you "promoting" the Align or the JE in your single handed comment (Pauls link seems to be the JE) Thanks

OK - thanks all for your enthusiastic comments it really is appreciated. I will have to wait to try one as the two styles of switch will affect my choice - if the JE finger grip is a "light" switch and nothing like the Sullivan I think that will suit me better as my thumb is where the dreaded arthritis sits! Cheers J Anyone want a very little used Sullivan??? £25 plus postage 🙂 nothing wrong with it if you are fit enough to use it.

Sorry but where is the switch/button?? Thanks J

The Leeds one looks good for true single handed operation - anyone disagree

Where is the start button/switch? I want it to work for easy single handed operation Found an Align on sale but the button seems to be behind the hand so 2 hands needed??

Thanks all........ TT- F54s and OS FS-40S pref using 3s/4s lipo as power source

Hi, I am increasingly finding the "standard" Sullivan Hi-Tork starter type very difficult to use with an arthritic thumb/hand There are others about but what do those of you "of a certain age" recommend - I appreciate lightweight will mean lower performance but its more ease of use in not having to grasp a heavy lump of metal and simultaneously push/find a button whilst hanging on to a prized hand built model which is the issue - ie the general ergonomics Any suggestions based on actual experiences would be much appreciated J
