assistant: Hi there! I'm new here.
        I was wondering if anyone here has plans\schematics or can tell
me how to build an electric on/off switch, the kind used in RC electric
planes. I think you call it a solid state servo. Something that uses a
relay and plugs into the receiver etc. It must be able to handle 20 amps
or more.
        Is there anyone out there that can help me with this?
Thanks.

I guess I should get off my duff and start really looking. I tried Fiberglast
by mail but I didn't get the warm glow i like to continue doing business with
them.  last time I went looking for paint at a body shop I ended up getting
offered the shop.  Seems that the Acrilic laquer that I am so fond of is
going the way of the DoDo and so they were dumping the works as they cut
over.  I didn't have the place to put it and had to refuse. I am still crying
about it.

 Hi Roger
Eww.. :) I guess a crosswind landing would be a bad thing in more than
one way then :)
Acually it hasn't been too bad this year yet. I'm writing this on new
years day after just getting back from the field. We have been having
a informal new years fun fly for the last few years. It was a little
cold on the gingers, as the temp was 4 degrees below freezing, but
a good time was had by all.
I'm really looking forward to getting the Bravo done, but the way things
seem to be going it doesn't look like it :)

assistant: Anyone here fly helies?  I just ordered a JR Ergo .46 and was wondering if
anyone here has had a chance to check out either the .30 or .46.  I'm going
to run the new OS FXH .46 in it, and use either a JR XF622H or an Airtronics
Quasar controller.  Any opinions/experience with the above please let me
ow.
 Also, anyone have any experience with the new Traxxas TRX .15?  I'm thinking
of getting one for my Nitro Hawk.  It's modified with full bearings, aluminum
flywheel, ball diff, MIP stinger exhaust, and a Traxxas buttsink.  It flies
now and it takes out my friend's RC10GT running a Yokomo 12, but the added
bottom end of the .15 would be nice.
                                   Have a good one!

5362 Stn. F ??? What the heck kind of a street is that? Kinda strange

I belong to the MATS club Montreal Area Thermal Soarers Club. And a fine
bunch of people they are. Only one problem though, not enough electric
flyers in the club. But it'll catch on I'm sure.
Say, just out of curiousity, does your speed control or on/off switch
come with a brake? If not, no problem, just wondering. Does it use a
relay? The SPDT kind or something? Just wondering.
I'll be sending you an SASE soon.
Catcha later neighbour!
And thanks again!
P.S. Did I hear you right the first time, that your not really into RC,
but that your into stamp collecting??? How come you make speed controls?
Huh? It don't make sense...
Later!

You forgot to ask why am I on this echo:-)  Yep stamps is my hobby and pseudo
business as well.  You can't take a chancd on putting stamps in a rural mail
box so I have a po box in Ottawa. I am also into Photography, metal work,
wood work, gardening, carpentry, computers, and now it seems landscaping.  I
own a piece of a decent sized swamp that i play with as well. I have been
building and dreaming models for as far back as I can picture.  I have
several finished, some on the go and some still waiting to be done, typical
with the exception that I have never flown an RC successfully,  I don't
really try that hard and don't mind.  I am building a new shop and air field
right now but that coule end up as a potting shed and garden as easy as not.
I made the speed controls because I have a PTE and the thing doesn't seem to
want to fly. Its got all the bits correct except thet the weight is supposed
to be 48 oz nad the weight is 48 oz. That seemed a little close to me so I
wanted to cut down on the weight. this switch removed a servo and toggle as
well as a couple of inches of wire.  I also wanted to cut my own boards and
looked at this as an opportunity to get that experience.  The boards were
advertised for three bucks US, but I wanted to do my own.  I still have not
tried that plane again but one day..

 flown in awhile, better get with an instructor or helper - I found just
 a couple months layoff left me a little "rusty", enough that I had
 another pilot stand close by.  Sure hope your Winter is mild so the strip
 will come through OK.  TTYL - Roger

 The only fees that have been charged are for those who wish to take part in
 the points series.  Generally, about $10.00.  The money is used for
purchasing
 the prizes apart from the ones the sponsoring store gives.
 You'd have to decide what vehicles will/not be allowed to race.  That's
 generally about it.
