Where can I find

The tiny white plastic circular gizmo that fits around the green gear indicator on the Flight-O-Matic?



Mine fell apart when I monkeyed with the PNDLR trying to clean it.



You can make one. Is the bulb still in the housing and does it still light? Go to a hobby shop get a piece of Evergreen sheet styrene thin, then fnd some one with an Epson Inket Printer. Print a green dot in a bunch of places and then trim to fit

Bondo,

The green indicator is fine. I need the little white plastic ring that goes AROUND THAT.

Dave, maybe you could cut a ring of plastic from the barrel of a ballpoint pen? There's enough of a variety of pens out there that you ought to be able to find something in a matching diameter.

Dave:

If you have an engineering/drafting supply house nearby, or even a well stocked hobby shop, you can find hard plastic tubing of various sizes. These can be sliced with an Exacto model-sized mitre box and saw, then painted white (if the tube isn't white already).

Thanks for the tips, guys!
