<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>I used a R/C Car charger with a variable voltage dial. Just connect the wires to the output connector and viola! If it has a digital readout, you can figure what voltage for each application. I too built a setup like Bob Noll used and the car charger worked just fine.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message -----</DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt Arial; COLOR: black"><B>From:</B> Thomas C.

Hot Wire Accesory??<BR><BR><BR>Hey guys,...<BR><BR>Currently I am constructing my first foam wing for a competition pattern<BR>plane. I have been banging my head against the wall for a week now, trying<BR>to figure out how to hot wire cut the servo pocket and wheel wells, just the<BR>way Bob Noll does in his video.<BR><BR>I went so far as to purchase Inconel wire from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty<BR>as well as a Homebuilders Hotwire kit. The hot wire kit was a "bust"<BR>because<BR>it consisted of only a transformer and a dimmer switch and it was up to me<BR>to<BR>design and fabricate an electrical circut. Long story short,... transformer<BR>got fried and no longer works!!<BR><BR>Plan "B" was to use the Inconel wire with my son's HO Train tranformer.<BR>Well,... that did little good because the wire barely got hot!! At least<BR>the<BR>train still works though, ha!!<BR><BR>Then finally a friend loaned me his K.I.S.S. Hot Wire Accesory kit by Sam<BR>Turner. What a life saver that has been. Now I've just gotta get one for<BR>myself; however I can't find them available anymore!! I can not access Sam<BR>Turner's web site and his products are no longer available through Central<BR>Hobbies. Please don't tell me a great product like this is out of<BR>production??<BR><BR>Can anyone tell me where to get Turners Hot Wire kit?? Or does anyone have<BR>suggestion on how to build a foam cutter of my own??<BR><BR>Thank you!!<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR>Steve Teerlinck<BR>Monson, Massachusetts<BR>=====================================<BR># To be removed from this list, send a message to<BR># discussion-request@nsrca.org<BR># and put leave discussion on the first line of the body.<BR>#<BR><BR>=====================================<BR># To be removed from this list, send a message to <BR># discussion-request@nsrca.org<BR># and put leave discussion on the first line of the body.<BR>#<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
