Did a quick root-around in the deep jungle and came across a bunch of timers. They have not been used in many years and are a bit dusty and cruddy.
I'll pull out a DT timer for you and will send it on. I'll do a quick clean-up on it, but you may have to do a bit more work on it.
Send me your postal address to spinifex@eastlink.ca

Hi John,

thanks for the information, I am trying to go old school with this and was hoping to get a timer from the bottom of some ones drawer.

I must see if I can get a hold of the June Aeromodeller, would be great to see the article.

Hope you are keeping well and good to see you are still flying.

All the best, Ralph

Hi Ralph:
These are as outdated as spark ignition.   They are available occasionally, but at highly inflated prices and are mostly clapped out.
I can highly recommend the bandburner electric timers from BMK. The only drawback I can find is that they have to be started from hand launch of model rather than starting on release from towline.

I use them in my E 20 Blizzard model due for publication in June Aeromodeller.
If you really want to go elite try RDT (radio released DT)   https://bmks.co.uk/products/bmk-remote-dt-b1

Hi all ,

just to let you know, everyone has rejoined from last year plus we have a new member Filipe ( see his posts re 3d printing a glider).

In total we have 13 members including 1 junior.

See you all on the slope in just over a week and collect your club mug.
