Hi Donny, That stuff is really neat. Thank you. The 8 channel with the Medco reed bank and the 4 IF cans looks just like I remember my Control air 10 channel. I didn't know there were 10 channel soft tube receivers. One of my menemerys of the 10 channel is the 6 button cell nicads in series. I didn't trust the triple pole on off switch so I would just plug in the battery pack and put the wing on and fly some times it would be that way for 3 hours and I never had a problem. Now I have a digital volt meter and I am constantly checking battery voltage. I hate these stupid nimcells they will last several flying sessions and the next time they will be down first flight after charge they don't make sense and all I can do is constantly check voltage before each flight.
