Phil 9 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 the model mania tv series was shown this morning on Discovery SHED on one episode Roy Lever described his parachute rescue system but refused to name his secret parachute material More out of curiosity than anything but does anybody know the details of his system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes I've seen that one - I'm still intrigued. I've experimented with this when I used to fly model rockets a few years back, always found nylon to be the best. I think the late Mr Lever used some mylar crimply stuff... There must be some one out there who knows. Lest ask Kevin from "Blues Clues"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I once owned the Roy Lever Merlin 8 PCM radio,it had a switch dedicated to Parachute release. A few of the club members where Roy flew had it on there larger models. I had a large Cub from a member up that way and all was left in the plane was the two holes where the wood dowels were.

bert baker Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hi Percy. I had one of the 96" Powermax Mosquitos, Never did get round to building it, I did have the multiplex Profi 4000 that allegedly controlled the motors on the original large Vulcan.

PatMc Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Posted by Percy Verance on 25/12/2014 11:25:39: I did see a couple of Roy's impromptu magic displays (he was a Magic Circle member) and it was quite bemusing watching him appear to make something disappear. He did once attempt the same trick with something much larger, but the less said about that the better......... ...but there was a lot of the magic smoke.

It is a Powermax Merlin PCM Guidance System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
