Greetings everyone. I live in England near Cambridge and have been modeling since the late 60's flying KeilKraft Ajax and Senator etc. After a bit of a break I flew RC in the 80's also messing about with helicopters. About 15 years ago I sold all my ic engines and fly only electric now. Last year I retired early so have much more time messing about doing things I enjoy especially RC aeroplanes.
In 2014 I built a single channel set using one of Phil's encoder boards. This was used to fly a Tomboy and I had great fun with it but I did switch to a modern transmitters as I never really got the hang of button pushing, how did they do it? I plan to use the set now in a KK Dolphin kit that I acquired a few weeks ago and have another go at button pushing.
A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Macgregor 27meg transmitters, one a 3 channel and the other 4 channel. I intend to convert these to 2.4gHz, one for myself and one for my son. Back in the seventies my dad used to take me to the Sywell symposium and I always lusted over the blue Macgregor set but could never afford one, so it's a dream come true at last!
I will start a new thread with lots of questions about converting the Macgregor sets so hopefully the good people of this forum will be kind enough to help me.
Thanks for having me!
