    Thanks Roy. I will take a couple of clips apart and see if I can match the words and music.

    Hi Garth, it is worth looking at all the plug in ready to go electronics there are out there now.
    You can stretch the servo movement slow it down or even delay it. You can mix twin esc's in several ways.
    You can have a single Tx. channel feeding a mixer to a 2 channel o/p to twin esc's. The rudder control does the mixing.

    I use slow down units and a servo extender for standard size but high powered servos that I use as sail 170 degree arm winches. Cheaper as well, than dedicated sail arm units.

    I also use rotating sail winches where the string all stays inside the unit so no need to have a pulley and a line. You can choose how many rotations you need.

    There are plug in dual relays for operating high current electrical switching. I am sure there are ones I have missed out as well.

    It is all a big toy shop out there now!

    Hi Marti in Falmouth. If you look at my original 'how to' post I have included a photo of the modified clip. It takes less than 15 seconds to do.

    Looking at how it works if the bulkheads are just 3mm wide surely it will split open the bulkhead by the time you are halfway.

    RoyCV - Guess I am a bit muzzy this morning, but I can't understand what you are describing. Your photograph shows 6 unmodified clips, right?

    Thanks for all the info & that helped me get to Amazon tool ( Micro-Mark 10-Piece Planking Clamp Set ) a little pricey but it's better than using my teeth to get the crazy glue off my fingers . I could order them another way But Canada Post is on Strike & I wouldn't get them until next year P/S Santa will be happy no letters to Santa from the kids.
