That is seriously freaky.

Have a read of the pages on, Vintage Model Airplane Tips 'n Tricks , Warp Free Flying Surfaces. Can't post link for some reason.

I can almost see the light.

Nice but where's the compression screw?

Yes, I have heard of and seen black wires on old car electrics . The discolouring is only visible at the battery side at one of the connecto pins but it is only very slight, scraped off with the minimum of fingernail effort but I dare say the colour of the wire may well be black. How long should a fully charged receiver battery be good for ?

Charged it up for about 20 hours on Saturday night, left it until this evening, did a range check as mentioned earlier by Crisie, left it on for about an hour during which I gave the servos a five minute work out every 15 minutes. The only worrying thing is a little discolouring of the lead from the battery.

It's a blue one. Stuck the lot on charge so it will be interesting to see how it works out and long they hold the charge for.

Thanks for the prompt replies guys, it's an old Sanwa VG600 and I think it's about 10 years old. Just powered it up for the first time in years and it seemed to work ok but I will give it a proper charge over the weekend and give it a right good check over. Hopefully I will use it in one of those new fandangle foam electric gliders before too long but that's for another day.

Hi guys, I have an old almost unused Sanwa 6 channel lying in a cupboard and I see that everything is now 2.4ghz, am I likely to encounter any problems using the old stuff in a rc model.
