Im really looking for minimum hassle/cost to get some use out of an existing park flyer (Miss Moravia) and an unfinished Astra (foam) Spitfire which shared the same battery packs (neither brushless). It certainly is looking to be a custom pack. They are based on 8 x 4/5AA cells which were 1000mAh back in the day. I have a decent charger that can cope with Nicad/Nimh and dont really want to change that.

Hi Percy, Thanks for coming back. You're right a lot has changed! Choice seems the biggest change especially for servos. Its only servos (ill swap one of the other servos so the wing servos are the same and get two new for the rudder/elevator) and batteries I need so not too worried about price. Just want reliable ones so I dont have to cut any more access panels in the wing to get to the Y cable. Batteries are my next problem. The old NiCads arent holding much charge and I had them made by SR Batteries in the states as the battery shape was a bit different. Everyone seems to be going NiMh now but it's hard to find an equivalent pack due to different voltages and size of the pack. SR Batteries are still going so ive asked for a price but im sure that wont be cheap! Broken foamie hinge is the next issue with 50 different options for that! All good fun though.

Hi, I stopped flying electric planes probably 20 years ago and was motivated to get an unfinished (Astra) Spitfire foamie out of the loft after watching Battle of Britain Model Squad on the TV. Thought at least one flight would be better than it being forgotten for ever! I solved a couple of the problems that forced me to shelve it originally but I have a duff aileron servo which isnt made anymore. Can anyone recommend a replacement for Protech B109 mini/micro (?) servo please? Dims are 27x24x9 9g.
