Re: Seagrave Tanker

Re: Seagrave Tanker
I love to see more fire trucks here. Looking forward to seeing progress pictures. Also, today I learned that US fire crews use portable pools to distribute water.

Re: New Project

Re: Glue
My experience:
White Tamiya plastic to white Tamiya plastic or other styrene: Tamiya plastic cement is great. It's a solvent that melts the pieces together.

Re: First attempt at lights
If it's made for 3 pos switch, it's probably off at center (1500) and on at up or down (<1300 or >1700)? You can try limiting one of the endpoints for the 2 position switch in the transmitter to up...
