Thanks,

Yes, switching type. Works fine on all the applications I use it for, mostly
chargers and battery maintenance equipment. Are not computer power supplies
all switching regulator type? Seems like that would be a very noise
sensitive environment.

   I recently bought a older gentleman's airplane lot, and he had a kit
called the Bingo. I am about to wrap up the building process and was
wondering if any of you guys have seen this plane fly or maybe have flown
it. What is the best engine size for the plane. The plane appears ...

Guys,
I have a sheeted wing made of white foam.  I have heard various methods for
cutting out the ailerons from them.  The instructions ask that the surfaces
be faced with spruce or hard balsa.
