Default RE: help with engine

one thing i want to know is what your doing with $ if your in the uk ??? lol

just checked and thats about £100, if you shop around in the local paper and the bargain pages is a good place to start, you can pick up some good deals if you bide your time, i had my Sanwa computer radio set for 25 quid because the guy didnt know how to use it, brand new still in box ....

basically your after just a simple set with the receiver and servos if possible but remember its got to be on !!!!!!!!35 MHz!!!!!!!!! the old stuff is 27 MHz and is only used on R/C cars and boats now....


as your on a tight budget the !QUOT!attack 4!QUOT! system by futaba may be a good shot as there getting old now and many R/C pilots have a old attack 4 system lying around they may want to get rid of.....

the good thing is your only going to need 2 servo's to start with as there's no throttle on the baby bee....

but before you go spending your money run the engine up first as it may be nakered and your going to be stuck with a radio set and no plane or engine lol....

if you want a little help/advice feel free to mail me and ill do what i can
