What brands do you all use for the important equipment for your helis?

Field box
Glow Ignitor/wrench
Glow plugs
Fuel Pump
Starter
Power panel

Also what is the best type of ball link resizer?
Finally, where is good online (preferably UK) to buy tools/field equipment?

cheers

Field Box = Mine is homemade, built like a tank, and weights a ton. I need a new lighter one.

Glow Ignitor = McDaniels now SonicTronics. The work great.

Glow Plugs = Enya #3.

Fuel Pump = My MK manual & electric both leak. I'm going to try the Slimline 2000, the one that scres on the fuel jug.

Starter = Hobbico with 2 6 cell car battery packs.

Power Panel = Got one whe I first started out. Sold it and never looked back. Once you go cordless you'll never go back.

I use the JR Ball link resizer. I dont' know of any others.

Skyline Models may be your best bet in the UK. Bob J. is a great guy.

Try Midland helicopters in the UK for bits. They have a website.
