RE: using the "parkzone typhoon 3d rtf" in the uk
Just curious, did you order the unit from the states? I would think they would be available in the UK on the proper band for your area. If you already have the unit, one consideration would be to sell the radio components on E-bay back to this side of the pond and get a radio package for good for the UK.
Sorry I don't have any other ideas, good luck,
Pete
