"Ever since childhood I have always wanted to build a Spitfire model especially as the Spitfire flew just one month before I was born. Now retired, I have been able to achieve my wish to build a Spitfire (a Top Flite kit) which I modified to electric power. The plane is 1/7 scale and it flew better than hoped apart that it was very silent. I decided to fit a sound system and proceeded to investigate the market. Model Solutions of Canada, when approached, suggested their SFX6.4 sound module loaded with the famous Merlin engine sound plus four other sound clips.

All communications with Model Solutions was professional and helpful and, after ordering, the delivery was fast. I did have some problems due to my errors and each time Model Solutions gave me every help. In flight the sound system is superb and it is the centre of attention at all the flying clubs I go to. I have heard the comment from a fellow modeller who has a sound system from another supplier that the one from Model Solutions is louder which is important when flying in a big open field. I have no hesitation in recommending this sound system."

"Just thought I'd let you know that your SFX6 sound module and speaker has turned my electric powered B-17 from a whingeing apparition into a roaring beast with real presence in the air! I thought it would be hard to install and set up, but it was no trouble at all. Very comprehensive manual and very friendly and quick responding email support."

"I thought I would drop you a note and let you know that my King Tiger Tank passed its first systems integration test. I performed a test run in the garage and all systems including hull/suspension, electronics, and sound system performed flawlessly! I highly recommend the sound system from MSC! David Harrison, CEO and Chief Engineer, has developed a sound system which, in my opinion, can't be beat! The sound files for the King Tiger are the best I have ever heard! His customer service is first rate and he is willing to listen to suggestions for improvement. Like you, he is willing to answer questions and responds quickly by email. Anyone purchasing one of your tank kits should also purchase his sound system."

"I am very pleased with your great high end quality sound system. Last week was fathers day in Hamilton. We were asked to bring Billy Bishop's plane to the event. The aircraft with your sound system was really great and had wonderful feedback People were amazed that this plane could sound like the real sound of a French Le Rhône engine. Also the Lewis gun firing - a friend has helped me to put the leds into the end of the gun barrel - yes it lights up at the same time as you hear the gun fire of the Lewis gun.

I joined the Burlington flying club this week. I had my first flight this Canada day and we had our first flight with the Nieuport and we also filmed the flight. The plane flew fantastic - yes we got it down in one piece and the sound system sounded great and it survived the full flight as well. We also went to Owen sound where Wing and Wheels was having a event at Billy Bishop airport.

The weather was not that great but we managed to be in a hanger and a lot of interested people came to see Billy Bishop's plane. The plane was very well received plus the sound system performed flawlessly thanks to you David".

"I had the pleasure of installing the SFX6 system in my new Hanger 9 Fokker D VII. I used two 4 ohm speakers in series, and connected LED lights onto the machine gun tips. The system worked very well 'right out of the box', and any questions I had were promptly and completely answered by Model Solutions within a day. My electric plane has a superb sound now, and the machine guns are fantastic. The plane is a terrific hit at my flying field".

"I am very happy with the SFX6 sound board. I have been spending a lot of time on the speaker mounting, just bolting the speaker to the wheelhouse floor was not so good. Testing of this has been done with playing classical music through a 40 watt stereo system. I have built a fancy speaker box that greatly improves the fidelity and volume of the sounds and also aids to the stability of the vessel by lowering the centre of gravity of the heavy little speaker, as you can see, the speaker box not only puts sound up into the wheelhouse but also channels it out under the overhang of the main deck roofing through a long elongated hole that is hidden under the roof overhang.

I have had a lot of fun playing with this system and tested it with the sound card a couple of days ago using a couple of 6 volt lantern batteries for the power supply. I am extremely pleased with the results, 2nd click-up on the volume is good, and the next notch up is more than enough, the sound is crisp and clear and it is only drawing 300 mA with ample volume. The speaker enclosure made a world of difference.

The software disc that came with the sound module has proven to be most valuable, the first thing I did was to print myself the 21 page sound module operations manual that gave me all the info required to confidently go ahead with the installation.

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with your product and would strongly recommend it to anybody that is wondering what to do with their model tug to make a lot of noise".

"I just got home from a great day at the flying field and a successful test of my SFX5.3 module from Model Solutions of Canada. The first flight of the year and the first with on board sound, what a blast. The glow pilots at the field were really impressed when I put the plane down and walked away to go through the start up with sound (they knew I only flew electric and were bowled over when the Hispano-Suiza cranked up) :-). From there it got even better. I could hear all the comments from the pits as I took the SE5 through it paces. When some in the pits yelled out did I have guns and I gave them a 3 round burst from the Lewis and Vickers they were very appreciative. The flight was perfect right down to the crackling exhaust on the final approach and the shut down. All I can say is the adds such a layer of scale realism to an electric plane that I never want to go back."

"I've been watching and waiting for a sound module that was within my price range, and was surprised to find the SFX5.3 module from Model Solutions of Canada that was not only less expensive than anything else on the market, but also had a better feature set... including the ability to play back two sounds at once (gotta have guns!), and trigger other things like flashing LED's for guns and flap sounds. But what really blew me away was the open architecture of their system. "What? I can plug the module into my laptop and change sound sets at will? I can make my own sounds and download them to the module?" It sounded too good to be true! I placed an order and boy was I surprised. The hardware was straight-forward and the software was a breeze to use. In just a few hours I had my system wired, software installed on my laptop, I had modified one of the sound sets on a radial engine and loaded it back on the module successfully, and it all just worked! Sometimes this hobby can be tedious, especially the electronics side of things, but this system is just plain fun."

“Being in Taiwan, ordering anything internationally is always a crapshoot. When I ordered the SFX5.3 with speaker, the speaker arrived crushed and unusable. I contacted David and he not only responded immediately, but also offered to send a new one to me at no additional cost. Ordering from 10,000km away the one thing you don’t expect is service and yet from that distance, David was able to show me his commitment to his customers.
This is not just a fine product but a fine product from an extraordinary company. It really has been a great experience, David. Thank you."

"I was (extremely) happy with the support I received from Model Solutions of Canada. I had a radio system that had a unique requirement. Add to this, my limited electronic trouble shooting skills, caused several challenging back and forth email/telephone sessions with Model Solutions. I must say they hung in there with me long after I thought they would have given up. And, ultimately found the quirk of my radio system. They then made component adjustments to allow their SFX4-4 system to function properly with my radio. This support bought them a lifelong promoter and user of their products."

"Purchased the SFX4-4 Premium Sound Effects Module from Model Solutions of Canada for my latest project, a Canadian Flower Class Corvette in 1/48th scale . Because of space considerations within the model, what attracted me was fact that you get a PC programmable sounds effect unit and a built in 16 channel decoder in one module. With this one high quality dependable module, I can control 8-10 different sounds as well as external navigation lights and the functional anchor winch. Highly recommended".

"What I particularly liked about the Model Solutions of Canada sound unit is that I can change and add up to ten of my own sounds in it. The owner is great to work with and has stayed in contact, has patiently answered my questions, delivered the product on time, and has supplied a quality product."

"I'm very happy with the sound module. Although the Snowberry is not yet finished (still needs a lot of upper deck stuff) I already spent several hours on a nearby pond with it. The module makes it much more realistic and really is an added value! The accompanying software is straight-forward and runs without any problem, setting up the thing is a piece of cake and in case of a question you get great service, what more can I say! I'm sure this is going to draw some attention on the pond in the summer..."

"Thought I’d just drop you a line to say how impressed I’ve been with your customer service. I’ve been dealing and buying on the Net since it started and never have I had such pleasant and responsive service as I’ve enjoyed from you. It really is exceptional. I think you should quit doing sound modules and start teaching the Big Boys how to look after their customers; you sure could give them some tips on how to improve their act. Keep up the good work – it truly restores one’s faith in dealing online".
