In a FLS each field coil is in series with a brush set. The power goes through the field coil and into the positive brush, through the armature and then is grounded on the negative brush which is 90 degrees to the positive brush. If you disconnect the brushes from the field coil and have a switc

Dan, Based on posts on the forums, I would point you to the Gambler. This seems to be a kit that is universally loved and praised. The others you list are also good choices but the Gambler seems to top this stack. I don't have one but the community seems to love this plane. The Gambler-AG = $7

It would look like you would need to use the switch to reverse the polarity of the brushes in the two switch positions. A little surgery will be needed but it is doable. Timing may be an issue but you should only see reduced torque in the nonstock polarity. Mark Miller - Original Message
