K.I.S.S. Hot Wire Accesory??

[mrstev0922 at aol.com]

Hey guys,...

Currently I am constructing my first foam wing for a competition pattern 
plane.  I have been banging my head against the wall for a week now, trying 
to figure out how to hot wire cut the servo pocket and wheel wells, just the 
way Bob Noll does in his video.

I went so far as to purchase Inconel wire from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty 
as well as a Homebuilders Hotwire kit.  The hot wire kit was a "bust" because 
it consisted of only a transformer and a dimmer switch and it was up to me to 
design and fabricate an electrical circut.  Long story short,... transformer 
got fried and no longer works!!

Plan "B" was to use the Inconel wire with my son's HO Train tranformer.  
Well,... that did little good because the wire barely got hot!!  At least the 
train still works though, ha!!

Then finally a friend loaned me his K.I.S.S. Hot Wire Accesory kit by Sam 
Turner.  What a life saver that has been.  Now I've just gotta get one for 
myself; however I can't find them available anymore!!  I can not access Sam 
Turner's web site and his products are no longer available through Central 
Hobbies.  Please don't tell me a great product like this is out of 
production??

Can anyone tell me where to get Turners Hot Wire kit??  Or does anyone have 
suggestion on how to build a foam cutter of my own??

Thank you!!

Sincerely,
Steve Teerlinck
