same as that, the hull had been damaged by the previous owner who`d try to repair the electronics without success, Im new to this rc stuff but have got the bug now, like you Ive ripped out the old mother board and started again, I wont bore you with the details but with reguard to the transmitter and reciever I went for the Microzone Mc6a 6 channel comes as a pair from Howes models, (been a good firm to deal with)
Im currently waiting for an rx controlled on/off switch to power the lighting setup and some new screws and nuts to replace the stupid security bolts that hold the weed guards on. (if you need some I`ll have thousands of em come the weekend
) Ive also shortened the bait flap and will be fitting a new servo to release it.
If I can I`ll send you some pics.
