Hi all,
I'm about to get back into modelling after a 20 year break(!).
Looking for a reasonable r/c for use on a model hovercraft project
with my son, and subsequent projects.

I've seen an Futaba FP-4N on e-bay, and before I go further, am
interested in views on it - I'm very out of touch with things!

(It's for use in the UK, and has 2 27.195 crystals included).

So, if people have recommendations/unrecommendations, would be
interested.

Thanks,

James

a brand new 4 channel Futaba set either 27mhz or 40mhz with rechargeable
batteries and charger but only 3 servos can be brought for £99 so just
remember when Bidding, as if its the one I found its up to £20 already ?
they are quite good sets but its quite old if my memory serves me correctly
and you might not get servo reversing as standard check
http://www.howesmodels.co.uk/accessories.html#to%20radio%20sets for prices I
don't have any connection with them or do I guarantee them to be the
cheapest but they are a guide to prices as they are usually quite reasonable
