Uk for parts ?

Post by Robg1 »

Hi all, are we still buying gliders and parts from abroad or has a uk supplier appeared in the last couple of years . Just looking for a sliding window for my 1/4 scale and it seems shopping abroad seems the only options unless someone could offer some advice on uk shops.
Thanks rob

I can 3d print some slides, the window would have to be cut out from petG or similar.

What thickness is needed for the sliding part? I have a roll of .5mm I use for servo covers I could use.

Great idea on the 3D print, my local model shop can help with that thank you, they made some plastic pins for me for my air brakes.

Hmm I already have them drawn up ready to print. I do wonder sometimes why I bother.

How do you make the spring that pushes the window outwards into the hole?
