The right hand controls are BI simultaneous to the left hand - so can operate Rudder and motor together or rudder and elevator / works perfectly !
Edit - I've moved the video onto YouTube to keep the file size on the forum to a minimum. Mike

Stop press - the receiver works too! Just the transmitter tones on 4 channels need tuning slightly to vibrate the reeds

What a lovely set and it's a bonus it still works!

Thank you Mike
I have the instructions too and quite an interesting read as mine appears to be a intermediate model that has the attributes of a 10 channel model as it includes the meter and black in colour .
Apparently the 6 channel doesn’t include a meter and are anodised green .
Do you have any of these sets in your collection?

Hi Jonathan,
No, I don't have any Raven reed gear in my collection, I wish I did! It's one of the few UK manufacturers missing, the only other I can think of is ECC (loads of Rx but no Tx). One day I'll find one I hope.
Cheers
Mike
