Really nice. Lots of character, my kind of model.

Perhaps yours is, but not mine.

I think you’ll find that the hole in the clunk weight is much smaller than the fuel tubing, so 3/32 should be fine.

Dale, You’ve possibly interpreted 20:1 mixture as 20%. You should be using 5% to7% oil for this engine.

Agreed. However it isn’t fair that the rest of us should keep losing interesting threads because someone has once again thrown his toys out of the pram. I would suggest that in future anyone doing this is locked out of the particular thread and his posts removed until he starts behaving with a bit of maturity. This will allow the rest of us to continue in peace.

Agreed. It’s good to hear from a qualified professional who knows what he’s talking about.

If you type in Fuel Proofer into search at the top of the page you will find multitude of posts recommending which one to use.

Quite right, I wasn’t including Koverall, I was thinking about the cheap materials used in dress making. I tried one once and never again.

Be aware of using these materials on sheeted surfaces. The shrinkage on some of them is not permanent and after a week or so bubbles can pop up, even if doped down. If the surface is painted ironing them back down is not an option.

Weston UK have had the Magnum 120fs and 180fs for ages.

Very smart. What engine do you have in it.

Too true. However aerospace and military grade toggle switches are freely available from many sources, mostly in the USA, costing from about £25 upwards. I used one myself for some years on a scale model without problem.

And yet toggle switches have been used extensively in full size aviation for many years. But not slide switches.
