Nice one frank.
Didn’t know you’d made a Macgregor! Not seen that one before.
I like your pixie, I might have a go at making one of them.
It’s at the top of my list.

Love the Deltron, I have one of the earlier two tube T100 transmitters. They were made locally, in my home town of Long Beach California. The address is a residence, so it was done in someones garage. The rest are equally nice, great work, nice eye candy.

The time has come for some "new" replica transmitters. Now it is a more accurate one of the Citizen-Ship tranny. It is on 35MHz using a Futaba style module and an Attiny85 as the brain.
It features S/C compound and sequential mode (the slider switch on the right), a separate throttle button for a three position sequential throttle (the small black button), accustic low voltage alert and inactivita buzzer.
I modified the right slider switch to work like a momentary button, just like the original one, it is spring loaded now. Works great.
The separate throttle button let you fly in a simple way on sequential mode. I like that very much.
You choose the mode during start up. Compound is standard, if you push the slider switch on start-up, it is on sequential mode.
The enclosure is 3D-printed. I made the drawing using OpenSCAD.

I didn’t realise the citizen ship you made was 3d printed. It looks like metal with the hammered finish on the front. Did you spray the hammer on?
How did you do the decals? Is it clear vinyl?

Thanks Ron, the hammered finish is sprayed on (Lidl hammerite spray paint). The decals are laser printed on clear self adhesive vinyl. One sticker covers the entire front of the transmitter. Easy to do and not costly.
The most difficult part was to convert the slider switch to a momentary spring loaded one. But a simple idea made it quite easy.
