BBT Timer

When I purchased the Stalink Flitetech business from Larry  Bagalini, it included

band burner timers from Dave Burley. I subsequently purchased a couple of timers

from Dave and shortly thereafter he ceased production. Since I used one of the timers

on my F1G Candy airplane, I was pleased with operation, but not the price.

I worked with one of my timer suppliers to produce a Better Bandburner Timer.

He made a prototype and we did some testing. The results were good and production began. The original design included a soldered on battery and a plywood mount

to secure the BBT to the airplane. An RDT version was made and an international

version without a battery. At this time we also developed a real nice single cell battery charger.

The latest version included the following upgrades: A low cost  detachable battery, auto shut off if not started within two minutes, a board designed to mount the timer directly to the airplane, and the user can now replace the nichrome wire if necessary.

Since introduction, we have kept the price affordable at $49.00 for the standard model and $65.00 for RDT version. Both prices were substantially less than the Dave Burley product.

Product details:

Timer weight- 2.5 grams

Detachable battery- 1.5 grams

Programmable in five second and one minute intervals.

The battery will power the timer for a full day a flying, at least 12 cycles.
