Gooday Mark A friend has asked me to look at a Vertex Standard VXA-150 Pro V. Transmits OK but won't receive. Some (very weak) carrier apparent but no discernible modulation. In your experience, is it worth sending it for repair, and if so, where would you recommend if you are not interested? Thanks for your help John Birrell

Gooday, Peter As I understand it, there is only a guy in Queensland somewhere who acts (or did act) as agent for Sub4 from New Zealand. I haven't heard anything of them for quite a while, so check on Sub$'s website. I did my own conversion, nowhere near as comprehensive as the Sub4. The only internal mods on mine are a reground camshaft, and 0.5mm planed off the heads. Everything else is standard, even down to original pistons. I used a Foxcon redrive (as used on the Terrier) . Remember, these are engines last used new in Leone cars & Wagons up to 1984, and Brumby utes up to 1993. So all aircraft engines are rebuilt from used. They are, however, easy (and cheap) to both buy and rebuild. Regards, John B
