1"depth would be good but what is an "electricity corner"

I'll be trying for the Staveley 4, though I've no doubt it will skyrocket....

Hope you dug deep Phil! 112 quid! Doubled in the last two minutes.....

Hi Guys,
I fancy going for the blue anodised 3 channel OS set on eBay for the museum if nobody else does.

Cheers,

Shaun.

I wonder who got the Staveley Deluxe 4? £112 plus £8 delivery... wow
The poor thing could have had a new life slope-soaring over the rolling Derbyshire hills -
but it looks like someone was desperate for another shelfweight

Peeved? Me? Whatever makes you say that?

Cheers

Phil, I feel for you and I would quite have liked the Rx and servo's!. I bid up to £101 hoping to get it for you, but somebody must have wanted it pretty badly.

But may I make a suggestion?

Most of us on this forum make use of your S/C encoders and/or Arduino code for 7ch propo and/or reed sets. You sell the S/C encoders at cost. You don't ask any donation for your Arduino code. If you just charged £5 more for every S/C encoder and everybody made a few £ or $ donation when they use your Arduino code, then you would have made enough money to win the Staveley on eBay.

What does everybody else think?

I'll start it off by donating the Skyleader Clubman Super I've just started converting with my 8 channel, 10 model encoder with LCD display. I've only got as far as removing the Skyleader label to cut the aperture for the LCD display and menu switches. When the Skyleader is finished, you can either keep it or flog it on eBay towards the next Staveley analogue with Kraft sticks that comes along.

Cheers

Mike

Thats a very kind thought Mike but I really dont want to overcharge for my own benefit, I love to see the old sets back on the field, especially the S/C and reed sets, thats reward enough. My Dad always said that any attempt to profit from a hobby simply kills your interest stone dead, and its one thing I've always been keen to convey - its a non-profit venture purely for fun!
So thank you for the kind thoughts but lets "keep calm and carry on" as the T-shirt says!

Cheers

Phil, I hear what you say and it is very laudable, however I'm with Mike...... You don't charge enough for what is a fantastic product that is very much appreciated and valued by all who use them. I have now had (I think) 6 s/c, 2 reed and 6 propo encoders and have just requested another and it has reached the stage where I feel guilty asking for them because I know a great deal of thought, know-how and work has gone into a thing that I simply couldn't do for myself and I just feel that I am "taking advantage" of your skills and generosity.......

So here's a suggestion....... Phil, leave your prices exactly as they are and anyone who feels like Mike and me will just add a "donation". My guess is that the extra will quickly mount up to enough to fund several Staveleys

There's a nice OS Pixie mk1 on eBay if anybody is after one:
