Jaymen: There's quite a movement here in the UK for updating old radios with modern internals - I think I've seen you posting on our single-channel site?
http://singlechannellersreunited.co.uk/ However, the Digimite is quite a rare beast these days, and I'd like to keep it as original as possible to show people where we came from! The home-made receiver works absolutely fine with it, so no need for any modifications to the transmitter.
I remember seeing Dave Platt flying at our Nationals, back in the 60s, when he had become something of a legend in the scale competitions. He was one of the first to apply the "weathered" look to his aircraft, rather than building them looking factory fresh. He was also one of the few scale pilots back then who could really fly as well as build!
If you speak to him soon, let him know he is still fondly remembered on this side of the pond, and that his designs are still being built and flown!
Cheers,
