I've searched the archives for a list of Gavin spare parts to carry.
Anybody care to comment / add / delete ...

- Triggers
- Reed switches
- Blades
- tracing wire
- tracing wire "clamps"
- Trigger springs
- Snap rings
- Yoke & Screw
- O-rings

Thanks in advance,
Ricardo

What you really need.....

A platinum card and a cell phone to call Florida

The list could get quite long. All depend on how much you want to repair and work on yourself. I would say at least learn how the build a trigger cable, take apart the rear end down to the seal and test & change the relay & reed switch.

List could be....

Relay or two, preferred on the board ready to go
Reed switch
Fishing leader cable, crimps and good set of snips to cut steel cable and crimp pliers.
Spare blades and prop parts. Spring washers, drift pins, screws with lock tight, yoke & screw, maybe even c-clips, c-clip pliers, shims and shaft seal.
Battery charging connectors, I would use Anderson instead of the radio shack deals.
Vacuum pump. The connection is 9/16 - 18
The allen wrench for the superior connectors, it is like 11/64's or some such
Duct tape and WD-40

These would be the big ones. You might what to get extra screws and latches. As some of the screws are a SAE thread and would be difficult to source around Europe.
