Eric and Erfolg  Thanks for the information. Interesting to know the set is home-grown!  I am at present experimenting with the gear, Sanwa 27MgH receiver,servos and an electric motor fitted in a glider, (never flown). Thank you for your advice, It is not intended to fly the glider, certainly the nicads are u/s! Derek

I have recently been given a set of Waltron radio gear: transmitter, servos etc. It is a Waltron 4-5 Sportsman, 4 channel 27 mgz set and in mint condition (it has been living in a loft, in a box with a price tag of £107.00) used once a long time ago. Obviously, the nicads are suspect but seem to be taking a charge. The gear should be practical for surface use, boats or cars. I would like to know a few details, such as range, problems if any. Anyone out there remember the kit? I would date the set at least 20 - 30 years old. Address of the manufacturer on the box is Waltron Electronic Controls Ltd, Westwood Industrial Estate, Cross Lane, Marple, Cheshire. Anyone live nearby? Is it still there?

Must win sometime! Nothing ventured nothing won.

 Another wotnot! Looks good to me!

If you don't enter you will not win! I would prefer a Lysander!
