Default Dan Vincent is da man

This guy sends a NIB needle valve with spring for a Pee Wee to an unknow guy on the other side of the planet for FREE.
So today I could start my NOS PeeWee for the first time, and it was singing on 25% nitro
I've won a needle and spring on Ebay but the seller did not send it as he promised, but thats history now.

This is what the engine will go in, it's an old Cub free flyer that I will restor and convert to RC.

Thanks and take care.

Joakim

Looks like a sweet plane for the .020 and a R/0 set up. Have fun.

And a tip of the old ball cap to the man who so generously helped you get your Pee Wee running.

I think it was Dan Vincent that I swapped a couple of emails with about diesel engines, a few years ago.
I seem to recall he had some friendly (!) wild wolves that he used to hand feed. Thats pretty special also. He sent me some photos of 'em.

Thats Martin(dieseldan) that has a pair of wolves as pets, he says there great. On that note , my mother adopted a 1/2 starved Dingo pup that turned out to be the best dog you could wish to have as a pet, it was the most faithfull well mannered dog Ive ever known.

Joakim,

Glad I could help.

Many of us have some small part missing from an engine and someone else may have a spare.

Someone else was looking for a needle valve for a late Wen-Mac or Testors .049 a while back and I have one but was too busy at the time to offer it. Now I can't find the thread.

Gotta go, my halo needs an adjustment.

Oops.........wrong Dan, another Senior Moment. My apologies.
I've got a mini foxie, probably more savage than Martin's wolves.
