Wanted for my 1944 WNG:

The small (low) AVC unit with wire clip , like the one on the picture that I sold a few years ago...... :)

I only need the outside as I intend to fit a electronic regulator.
I have the cover :D

Thanks !

I like the cover, my 1950 NH project had one but it’s too bent and twisted to use. Draganfly have no stock.

Hello Paul, I used to make them and sold them to Pete when he was the singles spares man.
I have not heard from the new singles spares man that he needs more so I guess he still has them in stock ?

edit:

They look easy to make but looks can be deceptive .
The trick sits in the rounded corners, I think I made about 60 of them .
Comment on here was that they where too expensive, well, that takes away the urge to help others I can tell you!

in Dutch it says : Liefdewerk oud papier :lol:

edit:

I looked up my old pricelist and Pete was selling them for 23,-GBP,
20,- euro was my price.
recently someone - unaware that I used to make them- asked if I needed one of these covers for my '44 WNG.
this is what he is making :
you be the judge ;)
priced at 30,- Euro .......

Vincent, I did not think to check the club spares list, but it is there on the current list which is dated 2020 at GBP25.00. I think your item looks authentic and I would like to have one on my project but unfortunately it has to stay on the “wish list” until I have all the must haves completed. It’s great to know that I can get one when the time is right thought, so thank you.

Hi Vincent, I am finishing off my NH 1950 project and the regulator cover would be a nice finishing touch. Draganfly have no stock and I asked the single spares man Allan and he also has no stock. Are you considering another batch in the future? I don’t have the tools to make a nice looking piece.

Hello Paul, I am not really planning on making more but I will take a look in the box with the mould if a lost one still lingers there.... :D
