Macgregor Family Photo

Post by RON »

Here's a family photo of my wee macgregors.
Slowly growing into a nice collection, All working apart from the MR200, which ive yet to finish converting to FHSS.
The casing on the MR200 single channel transmitter was well scratched, in fact their was virtually no print left on it so decided to make my own,
Printed with a laser on clear vinyl.
Not perfect but looks good as a stand off scale version
Notice the frequency print just under the Type number, thought I may as well have it correct for 2.4Ghz
The left hand "1 Plus 1" is as new and still on 27MHz

Here's a bit of nostalgia, Its a PDF of a RCM&E test report from 1974 on the Digimac4. Quite interesting.

Very nice Ron, lots of blue anodised loveliness.

Here's my MacGregor Clan portrait, all collected since last year's Ponte event, The Digimac IV and II await conversion to 2.4ghz, using Phil's encoder and Lemon modules. I'm considering retaining the Digimac II as original 27mhz for a vintage slope fix, depending on building a suitable model.

I did a more accurate Wee Mac label for you a little while ago Ron!

Hi Mike,
I’d totally forgot all about that one. Spent ages other morning doing another 😩

Yes yours is much more accurate than mine, looks very good.
Your left and right “squiggly” bits look much more to scale.
The only small point I can see is the right hand squiggly needs to be mirrored. As does mine.

Good spot Ron!

I've mirrored the right-hand "squiggly bits" and I think it is now the same as my MR200 on the shelf. But having said that, I thought I had it correct a few years ago...
