Thanks to all particularly Tom, Nigel and Peter for their covering recommendations and everyone else regarding radio choice. Definitely food for thought and the sound advise will help inform my decisions. Thanks again.

John, thanks for taking the time to post a reply. That’s a nice model!

Hi All, Having had a sort out I’ve rediscovered my old Vervon Vortex and would like to resurrect the same over the winter as it’s looking a little worse for wear, but not having flown for nearly 40 years I need some help . I’d really appreciate some advice on the following topics; 1/ Recovering the flight surfaces; what’s the best choice today in regards to film? 2/ What aerosol paint would you recommend to repaint the fuselage or should I leave bare and put up with the ‘patina’? 3/ Radio choice. I used Futaba previously, but would like a steer in regards to a decent mid-priced radio. I’ve looked briefly at Spektrum, which seem pretty decent, but having been out of the hobby for so long and with the demise of many of the known brands in the intervening period I’m struggling to make sense... Apologies if the above are well worn topics, but I’d really appreciate some help. Cheers
