... thanks for the info, but at the minute I don't even have the wooden board that it mounts on, so I'll have to build bottom-up first and fill in the gaps later
The other thing that strikes me is I was expecting just a transmitter and recover unit, plus mike and ariel lead, but the images I see have lots of bits and boxes with them.
An empty unit I could put on the bracket would be a good start, better try for that. The radio regulations here in the UK are such it's probably not legal as originally configured anyway.
thanks
