Radio Equipment

Stockists of leading brand radio control equipment including Futaba, Sanwa, Hitec, JR, Spektrum, Acoms, Cirrus to name but a few.

If you are new to the hobby of radio controlled modelling then I would suggest you take a look at the Permitted UK Radio Frequencies page before purchasing your radio gear.

Aircraft Radio (Stick type)
We stock Radio Control systems by Futaba, Hitec, Sanwa, JR, JPerkins and Spektrum (2.4GHz).
Prices start at around £32.99 for a basic 4 Channel 35MHz transmitter only from J Perkins and from £79.99 for a 6 Channel complete radio set, again from J Perkins.

Other Radio (non-aircraft)
For surface models or for use other than flying, we stock radios by Acoms, Futaba, Spektrum and prices start at around £34.99 for a complete radio set.
The Futaba and Spektrum radios are of the pistol-grip type, usually used for radio controlled cars or boats.
Stick - type radios can also be used for surface models but only on frequencies other than 35MHz (Aircraft Only)

Flying - Modes 1 or 2?

Basically, the two most commonly used 'modes' (Which stick operates which control) are Mode 1 (Throttle on right stick) and Mode 2 (Throttle on left stick).
A full explanation of the different modes can be found on the BMFA site. Click here to view
