Can someone point me in the direction of an idiots guide to staring out in radio control. I appreciate that there was an article in the 009 News not that long ago but I wasn't interested at that time and didn't save it. I seem to have spent hours ploughing through the various Forums but have just ended up totally confused! My intention would be to RC just one 3D loco to start with and would need to know what transmitter, receiver and batteries to buy and where to get them. I'd like to avoid having to build the transmitter and would prefer the pre wired components where possible.
I take it you have read the RC thread on this forum?
There are a number of members here who dabble in Radio Control (not me, I hasten to add)
Otherwise you could join the ngrm-online forum which has a bit more on RC
Yes both and as above totally confused!!
Frank Allen seems to have done most work on this and is very helpful. I've just been in touch with him and he answered my questions very clearly. I have his copy of the original instruction for the 009 news piece and the equipment needed.
I'll check with him that it's ok to post them and get back to you - he may even spot your post and get in touch.

Thanks. That will be great if you can
Hi Richard,
I wrote the two articles in 009 News on radio control. If you PM me your email address I can email them to you and also some useful notes on what to get and where from. This should get you started.

Many thanks. I've established contact with Frank Allen who has been most helpful. Appreciated thanks Frank
