    Re: Spitfire IX Project

    A brief "update" well, actually a step backwards (thank you so much Andy!!!...MATE

    I now find I need to build yet another camera control. The Camera Selector Unit. Until now I had never seen one, couldn't find one and was going wing it with a 3 position switch. OFF/Oblique/Vertical. But Andy to the rescue with a picture of the unit.



    It seemed to have three switches and lights, and what I thought was a fuse box...details Andy confirmed for me soon after when he found the diagram:




    Luckily I have three supercharger type switches spare, two lights (and just found a third) and stumbled upon a fuse box that is very close or identical, provided it is the size i think it is when it arrives. It is a Type G fuse box...I don't suppose anyone can say "yep, that was the type used in the Camera Selector"?? And into the bargain I picked up a shallow two way AM switch for the OFF toggle!


    More work but all for the good I suppose. A genuine thank you Andy.

    Re: Spitfire IX Project

    Thanks mate, I agonised over using PVC irrigation line or copper tubing or brass tubing for ages. I knew nothing about bending pipe until yesterday!! I settled on copper instead of brass because that was what was available yesterday. As the aircraft seems to have used some copper and some brass, I'll live with it for now.

    Re: Spitfire IX Project

    Hi, If you want real clean bents ,
    you can fill the copper tubes with very fine sand and heat it over a flame untill the tubes start to change colour.
    then you can use any circular sample for bending without the need of using special tools.
    For special bents you can heat the tubes untill the colouring stops and let it cool down,
    the tubes stay very soft again fill the tubes with sand and bend it to your likings.
    The sand keeps the tubes round instead of going into oval shape if done correctly.
