Scale Soaring UK

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

Rob, try Gliders Distribution...

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.

I would say 1mm would be best!

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.

Hi cliff that would be great could you make me some up then please thanks rob

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

It is just a friction fit just as the commercial ones are!
