Phil's projects
Phil's main interest at the moment is resurrecting old R/C radios to modern spec, particularly 1960s Single-Channel sets, old Reed sets and very early 1+1 sets, which a large group of us fly regularly.
We mostly use my custom encoders which emulate exactly the operation of 'period' gear whilst driving a modern 2.4g RF module. My stuff is here: http://www.singlechannel.co.uk
All the project documentation is on the 'Archive' page.
I also have a Youtube channel which has many videos of my conversions, including Single-Channel, Reeds, 1+1, 2+1, and 5ch propo.
Also my pal Shaun and I do club presentations covering radio control from the very earliest days of the Coherer, up to about the 80s when pretty much one propo set was like any other. We have ground-based CW and hand-held tone S/C sets, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12 channel reeds, several GG, pulse-propo, manual pulse - with at least one working example of each type set out on a 'demo rig' where its operation can be seen clearly.
Cheers
Phil
