Best idea would be to contact the service people for the radio, not sure but is it Ripmax now? there is an independent chap who could advise too, can't think of his name at the minute, clubmate of mine (aircraft) had a problem with an FF7 TX, he phoned them and was sorted out in no time.

not much help am I !  {:-{

Hi, fairly quiet for me over there, too much activity in 'The Pub', 'Photo club', and not enough modelling going on <*<  A lot of the 'old hands' have dissappeared or post rarely now.

Agreed! I somehow managed to get dragged in and got fed up with it, its good on here plenty of modelling to study, I'm keen on the steam section at the moment, I can't do any myself just now but I really enjoy looking at others efforts and it gives me some motivation to think about having a go myself.

Cheers  :-))
