Free Flight Supplies Newsletter No.54 This newsletter replaces No.53 on the web site. The list is being developed and the gaps are being filled in. Some new product ideas are being developed (slowly!), but it all takes time. The tidying and sorting of the range continues. My idea now is still to deepen the range rather than expand into new areas.
This newsletter has been a time in a coming but Iíve been up to my neck in some major changes and updates as well as a new computer. Iíve also managed to get the Yahoo mailing list back on line, so this note goes out to both lists.

FUTURE PRODUCTS
1. There are various ideas in the pipeline that are being developed: -
The state of play the progress (if any!) is noted!
New Polish timers have been specified and prototypes are awaited. My producer is getting down to the new ideas and more prototypes are due very soon. Currently he has problems keeping up with demands for the existing range. A new design for a three function flat scroll timer is being developed. A new lighter weight Tomy timer is also being tested. An hybrid timers are being investigated for engine cut off and D/T option combined. The first of these an engine squeeze off and D/T is now going into production. Iím also looking at a valve shut operating n the same basis
More data charts. When I get around to writing them up.
The "how to do it" publications. Other ideas based upon my experiences and your questions are being written up.
I'm continuing to concentrate on getting the pipeline sorted and rationalisation rather than searching out new items unless the obvious appears! However as you will see from the above the list just keeps growing!
