Re: Old Warden..... URGENT!
Been there myself last September.
This year we are not allowed hopping over for 2 days.
Hoping you're all having good fun over there this weekend!
But....
Also this Sunday will be our Dutch derivative, the 'Dutch Old Warden'
Not on an airfield, but in a vast area of pasture land.
Flying 'from the boot', FF, CL & vintage RC:

Ooh, that little Stavely looks nice, but £55 is a bit steep for me!

Re: Old Warden..... URGENT!
The Staveley is a rare set though ..would make a nice conversion.
They've sold for a lot more in the past as have the RCS Reed sets..
The Stentorian Bipe looks pretty tatty and what's the flat aileron wing all about? How much was it.?

Re: Old Warden..... URGENT!
Converting old sets onto 2.4 has become really popular and I fear that by producing all these "easy to install" emulators and encoders Phil is largely responsible for driving up the price of what would otherwise be obsolete junk!
I picked up a Futaba FR22 from Ali for £35 which I didn't think was too bad. It's a bit grubby but I think it will clean up quite well
(Why does the forum turn pictures through 90 degrees?)

Re: Old Warden..... URGENT!
What a brilliant weekend, first major event this year!
Paul very kindly loaned me his miniature Cito S/C magnetic actuator set, I think it was unique in its era and works great - thanks Paul
It uses the exif information in the photo Paul, all these sideways photos have orientation set to 90° in their exif, so its displaying the photo correctly Its a problem with modern cameras, theres quite a fuss about it on Whatsapp.
