Hi Campersands,
If you are near to Dover,then the Model Boat Association Dover sail on Kearsney Abbey Lake, Dover.
Usually someone there on a Sunday, or Google us.

Hello and welcome! those boats look pretty good from the pics! There is a Model Boat Club at Dover, and another at Maidstone, called the Cygnets. Google them, I find them very friendly, maybe someone there has a spare Tx and Rx laying around! I used to live at Lydd before moving here to Germany. Will be over end of Feb, maybe we can say Hello?
