[Michael McW]

I am in the last stages of the the masts and i have run out of the eye pins , they are 15mm long and 0.8mm pin diameter about 1.5mm diameter eye, does anyone know where i can get some more of these, another 20 should cover me

You better make as much as you need. It is very easy. There is a tutorial on the forum somewhere. Our administrator Jimsky for sure will be able to provide a link to it.

Maybe Micro-Mark?

Thank you @Y.T.

I did found one of my tutorials. See below

Jimsky, Great Tutorial, I think I can do this following your method. Looking forward to the soldering portion, I’ve never had much success with that type of work. Jan Hello Jan, Thank you for the good words and I am really happy you found it useful.

Hey everybody, working for Model Expo I got in touch with OcCre and they gave us a link to where you could fill a “Parts Request Form” and they will ship directly to your home.
Here is the link:

I hope this could help.

I had the same shortage problem with my Beagle.. I filled out the parts request form on line and they mailed me the parts. No questions asked.... However making them yourself is easy... I use black wire so I don't have to paint the brass ones...

Another good source is Amazon

I use Casey Blackwood brass black, much easier & quicker than paint, ad doesn't come off as easily as paint when installing.
