e. a new(er) 275 kV type based on L12, possibly as there was insufficient justification for larger, heavier 400 kV towers. I have no other L55 details, only the L16 diagrams in the tower bible that correspond in every other way except that the DT does not match any real DT I have ever seen.

Possibly less of a problem here but with a previous subject I’ve found the circulating information within the corresponding community to have become a game of Chinese whispers and to be hopelessly unreliable.The Hornby models are identical to a set of PL1 towers found just outside Winchester which are approximately 50” high . Following a very high quality field of 250 entries and 6 excellent finalists, which were featured at the London Design Festival, the judges were overwhelmed by the huge public interest in the competition. These sets were available in three liveries and featured an 0-4-0 locomotive, paving the way for the hobby. The ‘Equaliser’ was developed for a local club competition to provide a pylon racer airframe and power set-up that was the same, providing a ‘equal’ platform to let the pilot shine!

Whether you use a 3s or 4s battery and for competition or just fun, it will put a smile on your face every time you fly.

I have too seen hints and suggestions of others having drawings or access to them and suggestions to make them available for the wider use seems to fall on deaf ears hmm.

The rules are based around the Club 2000 i/c class and makes for a robust fun sport using a model with a 3536 / 1400 motor 8 x 6 propeller, 4's Lipo battery and the rpm limiting esc.I make a specific caveat that all my photos are purely speculative because I have no documented evidence that any particular tower is what I assess it to be (it could be any of the undocumented intermediate variations) — it just helps give readers a better idea than the diagrams alone. I was able to salvage the L34 suspension tower plan although the designation is missing, but the tension tower plans are too incomplete to use — there must be at least one more page with the base drawings. I did wonder if there was a more complete copy of the tower bible, but I could only find forum comments from others indicating that what they had was also incomplete. I’m not looking to race competitively, but looking for speeds around 160mph and something that turns heads, so to speak.
