The June 2019 edition of Aeromodeller features an article and free plan of our Ferry 500 class. The Peterborough FET Timer for Ferry 500 is not covered in full detail so a video tutorial is provided here as mentioned in the magazine. Aeromodeller have kindly given us permission to offer the free plan as a download here. Click for the plan, along with a parts sheet and extra photos of the model. Jonathan Whitmore
