Default Help with getting older models running again

Hi guys

First post - just joined the forum. I briefly flew a few planes with my dad around 20-25 years ago including a Yamamoto 4 channel plane with IC engine. My dad recently passed away and I just found the old planes along with some other stuff he bought himself, in the attic. It would mean a lot to me to get at least one up and running again. There is no radio gear, and I cant find any receivers, but there are a few Futabo servos. Engine wise there are a couple of .40 engines and a .52FS - all brand new, and there is a used 0.40 that came out out of the Yamamoto when I crashed it into a tree. Plenty of odds and ends too including plug heater and starters, spare props, wires, etc. The Pico-Cub looks to be electric, and the Little Tiger seems to have an 0.10 engine included.

Could anyone please help me out with recommending a transmitter and receiver, and compatible servos etc. Fuel will be needed too. Any other advice would be most welcome or resources to read. I hope they arent too outdated and can still be flown, I know technology changes so quickly.



Many thanks for your time
Adam.
