Yep get a kit everytime - it's important to know how it goes together
because sooner or later you'll going to have to take it apart.
Again, Richard, mainly plaines and trains, will trim up and check the
build if you by from him.

Radio - PPM and PCM are the proper names. PPM often gets called FM - this
is historical from when you could only get AM and FM radios. In fact both
PPM and PCM are both FM but use different encoding
ah, right... I get it now.

Not familiar with JR, but it looks like the the 2610 has both PPM and PCM -
which you can use will depend on which receiver you have.
Hum... So, how do I tell... I got a combined - heli / plank just
incase ... but I can change between pcm and ppm ... hum...

BTW flight sims
only work with PPM - a common mistake is that guys use PCM and compalin it
isn't working.
Yep, read about this already.

The guy you are referring to is Paul Heckles
Cool... found his website now... http://www.paulhecklesrc.co.uk/

There is a guy who sells on eBay and lives in Wokingham who imports and
sells Raptor kits with OS engines. I bought mine from him and he let me
pick it up from his house - good guy and the saving I got was quite
significant.
tempting, but i think, i might keep with Richard, at least he will
check it over the first time to make sure its good.


I have another contact who sells OS and Futaba stuff.

Does your email address work - I could send the details with a list of what
other things you will need to buy or borrow.
Yeah ? Cool.. thanks... email is good...

Cheers,

Nigel

Thanks again
