I am building a non flying replica of a Guillow's Profile Trainer #2 that I used to learn to fly C/L. I have everything except the kit elevator horn and a thrust washer for a K&B Green head .19. If you have either one of these would you please let me know? Thanks and FLY SAFE. John deLafosse

I MAY have a spare horn- the ones for the 2 and 3 and the Rat Racer were all identical (stamped steel). I'll have to look. Why is it "non-flying?"

I finded one!
If you will e-mail me your snail mail, I will send it (freebie) although I have NO idea in the world why anybody wants a "non-flying replica" of anything. This is almost as meaningful as having a "non-shooting" replica gun...

John,
I build static 1/2A's and have plans for a few Team Racer's that I am hanging on the wall. They are kind of like a little museum display or something that we can always share, or admire ourselves from time to time. Hope it turns out just as you like.

Chris...

I recently picked up a Trainer 2 complete with OS 15, tank and wheels. Gonna sand a little, degrease and repaint. The old, thin finish had nearly disappeared, anyway. Fly it once in a while, but mostly to hang up for nostalgia. It is fatter and uglier than the one I remember from my early years!

I have that problem myself a lot lately- Oh wait!- we were talking about the airplane here! I picked up alll three kits of the series a bit back, now in various stages of construction. Trying to use as close to "period correct" motors, etc. as I can. It's just for a lark...

JOHN...The thrust washer can be made by taking a OS thrust washer and file down the back side of the washer or Machine it down. I can do the machining. I'll look and see if I have an extra one laying around the houseshop.
