Title: Hobbies Arrow - suitable single channel r/c set up
Post by: trelawney on October 11, 2016, 03:38:39 pm

Advice please on a good reliable make.

I need to buy single channel, ie rudder only,  radio control system.

I know absolutely nothing about r/c so would appreciate advice on what to buy please.

Thank you.

Trelawney.

You will have to go with a two channel system, no single channel units available I am afraid.
Etronix Pulse two channel stick set, i.e. not a steering wheel type, ET1100 currently £40.99 for transmitter and receiver.
Better quality set by Futaba, 2HR,  Transmitter and receiver, £49.99.
Inferior Chinese tat also available, I shall leave that to others!!!
Beware exchange rates, lots of imported items now going up in price, such is democracy :}
