Tom,

Meant to ask, how is the ignition Perky coming along?  I have been searching my (disorganized) shop for my Arden .19 point set.  If I can find it, maybe I can give your Bantam some competition- just like 1947 again.

Hi Tom,

My mailing address is:  William Stewart,  839 Tamlei Ave,  Thousand Oaks,  CA  91362.

Thanks in advance for a great Christmas present!

How is your Nelson Perky coming along?  With Glen Dye's help I've gotten my early CS piped .15 modified to run on a minipipe, though it was necessary to correct wildly mis-machined shaft/crankcase porting.  We plan a fun fly for New Year's Day.

Do you have Vee Gee drawings or plans?  I've scaled a number of photos and have drawn a plan set which looks pretty accurate.  Together with a Series 20 McCoy 60 (no shaft ignition cam), which might be converted to ignition via a prop spacer with cam and the points turned forward of their normal location,  I may build a MonoLine Vintage ship.

All the best for the Holidays,

Will

I just opened the box yesterday.  i got a new minature coil from -- GETTIG Engineering and Manufacturing Company / A Division of Gettig Technologies Incorporated / Miniature Airplane Coils.  I test ran the engine t make sure it was a runner on ignition.  the coil and 2 AA batteries should weigh about 3 oz.   I might try to run it with AAA batteries.  I'll use a booster battey for starting.
