MERRY CHRSTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND A GREAT NEW YEAR.

Just spent Friday watching the aviation series on the UK History channel
and wondered if anyone can tell me where I can find pictures or drawings
of the Marchetti S55 seaplane ?
Thanks,

I'm looking for a source of 1/2A Texaco kits. I've found a few, and I'm
partial to the dallaire sportster. 65.00 is the best price I've found.
Any others?

I asked over on the UK group without any feedback, so I'm trying again here.
Sorry to those who read this twice.
Just wondering how the Royal Evo transmitter tackles engine kill.  The manual
indicates the kill switch operates at all times rather than only in

Hi;
I'm looking to find information about Li-Po "home made" charger.
I bought an home made charger from a student and I'm surprised that the
output voltage is more than 4v3 per cell when I select 3 cells.

I've mislaid the instructions for my Jeti 180 Speed Controller.

in fact I've never go it to fire at all!.
The instructions on my (new) power panel say to remove the glow head,

Does anyone know of the specs for the bolt that runs through the silencer of
my Irvine 39? It's the same width / thread as the 2 bolts that hold the
silencer to the engine. Looks like 145mm long, 3mm thread? (I'm not sure if
they're metric or not).

I'm wondering if someone can help me with a slight (I hope) problem with my
Extra 300s made by Seagull Models.  I just finished the plane and it looks
great.  When I measured the height from the floor to the wingtips, I found
the right wing to be 7 inches and the left to be 6.75 ...

There has been some discussion about charging of Lithum batteries.
I have shamelessly cut and pasted this from the E-zone, as iet is
straight from the guy who designed most of the software in th Astro109
charger and I think it illustrates the main issues with charging these

I am about to put a Precedent Hi Boy together after many years collecting
dust. Some small parts to connect the thick undercarriage wire to the
formers have gone missing. Any suggestions on how to make a good strong
connection from scratch. Oh yes ,it needes to be v. strong  as I ...

I'm teaching myself to fly, with a Limbo Dancer powered by an Irvine 39
2-stroke. It's going well so far...but how can I improve the pick-up of the
engine? I appreciate that the carb isn't the most complicated device in the
world, but I didn't expect a slight falter before the ...
