Dave Platt Half Tone 3

I just finished this Half Tone. I've been working full time for the past 3 months, which put a crimp in my building. I modified my Spektrum DX5e so that I plug in a cable
where the 5th channel was and use a push button. The escapement works perfectly and I'm sure it will bring back fond memories when in the air.

Tom,

I got involved in building a Dave Platt designed Half Tone 1/2A job from 1961 ( plans in Sticks and Tissue # 57 ). I'm ready to start
covering  ( silk ) and I hope it will be done for next weekend. Powered by a mini Oliver Tiger .5 cc from Barton Model Products in
the UK.  It has twin ball bearings and really screams. I'm using a 2.4gh. Spektrum RX with a modified servo decoder board driving a Bonner
SN escapement. Single channel naturally. I can't wait. Photos to follow.
