This one was kindly given to me by Phill Wigley and had long ago been hastily refitted with the board from an Acoms 2ch car set, the original Micron electronics lost. From that aspect it was ideal for conversion to 2.4g, which I've done using a Frsky DFT transmitter module (in V8 mode) and a V8R4 receiver which is lost inside the original Elf receiver case!
The encoder is the Digimac 1+1 with the throttle button left unconnected.
This is a true recreation of the original set which was strictly single-channel, it drove one proportional servo with no option to expand. The servo would typically be used for rudder in a model plane or boat.
Uniquely the transmitter didnt send PPM but instead was directly modulated by a standard PWM servo signal. In effect, it was like a servo tester via an RF link. The AM, single-conversion 27mhz receiver had no decoder as there was only one pulse per frame, and hence nothing to decode, its output a standard 1-2ms servo pulse.
After almost 45 years this set is again destined for the flying field, probably in a Veron Impala rudder-only slope soarer. It would also be ideal for a small diesel or Babe-Bee powered S/C model. Far better it spends the rest of its days 'out there' than on a collectors shelf!
Cheers
Phil
