Hi Robert. I have been in contact with HITEC. And they tell me when I ask why I can't find someone who sell Hitec radio anymore. They have stop manufacuring new radios. They produce servos and charger and other things but no radios. That made me to do over to Radiomaster TX16S. I can use my 9 Hitrec recievers on that radio. I am flying now my indoor with a Minima 6E Lite and a outdoor foamy with a Optima 7. Binding very easy and I have so far not had any issues. I will start to fly my balsa warbirds next summer when i feel more confortable with the programming of the TX16S. I don't think Hitec has started up yet the production of new transmitters. I was in contact with them this summer. My my info is a few months old. But when I go in on there website there is only Flash 7 and Flash 8 radios. But I cant find any modelstore who have them in stock. I have been happy with my Aurora an till this year when the screen give up and I have alos something with the motherboard. Multiplex in Germany tell me so. I have probblem with the trimms that adjust them self and I can't reverse the servos from the radio. Thats why I whent from Hitec to Radiomaster. Hope you find your radio that you will like and feel confortable with. Stay Safe. Peter

Hi Bucksboy. THANK YOU!! Maybe my flying season will not be over before it starts!! I will be more than happy if you can send me your boken Aurora 9. I understand this lockdown becorse of Corona virus will get som problem. But I will try to figure out to send you a private message with my address. then you can send it to me. And we need to figure out how I can send you the money. Thank you so much again Bucksboy.

Hi Phil. Yes it is sad about Hitec. Got a mail from them that they say that they have discontinued both the Aurora 9 and 9x radio. They whant me to contact Multiplex in Germany. But that site is in German. I have wrote to them but no responce. Probably becourse I write them in english. The German sites can be little stubborn in thease matters. But if I change brand to what? Futaba seems to be top on the line. But outseide my salary range. And they have so expencive RX . Just feel little sad at the moment of these problem. But I guess i need to look at other brand. Thanks for the responce Phil. Stay safe you too. Peter

Hi Anthony. Thank you for the respond. It is strange what you say. Here is what the Swedish news say about the Brexit. I used Hoogle translate. The UK's exit from the European Union, also known as Brexit, was formally initiated by the UK Government's withdrawal request on 29 March 2017 and was enforced at 00:00 CET on the night between 31 January and 1 February 2020. And the shipment cost for the screen is between 31 to 45 £ to send me the screen from UK. I have never played so much in shipment before. Not even when I buy my Lysander from SMC. And if I go into Swdish Customs site and look they say I need to pay taxes on the stuff I buy from UK. So this is why I ask the question here about the Aurora radio. Br Peter

Hi everyone. I have a Hitec Aurora9x that I bougt 2014 and it has served me very well all these years an till last week when the touch funktion just give up. Now i read on the different forums and also on Youtube that there are more then me who has problem with the screen. I can't buy a new screen in Sweden , ther is none to buy. I found here in UK but you have left EU so buying from UK will cost me the half price of buying a new radio. My question. Does anyone now if HItec has upgraded there LCD screens or are they the same design from the Aurora 9 came out or are they inproved? I have so many TX and telemetry kits that I would like to buy a new Aurora. But I am afraid that I will burn my money if the screens are still unreliable. Does anyone know ?? ( Sorry for not corrct english, I am Swedish) BR Peter

Hello Gentlemen. Hope I am in the right forum. I have question . In one issue of RCM&E was a repotage of the Lizzie.The Westland Lysander. I have lost my copy and forgot wich numder is was. Can anyone help me locate so I can try buy an copy please? I have a Seagull Westland Lysander that i would lite to make the cockpit little more scale. I would be a great help if i have a copy of this magazine. Hope someone can help me. Peter H , Sweden

Thank you Danny. I will order one copy after I come home from work. Thanks again. Peter

I have bought the magazine once some years ago from Traplet. ( if I remember right) Who publish the magazine now?

Huston we have a problem. The autumn special magazine has not received Sweden. And when I go to Traplet to order a magazine there I can't find RCM&E at all!! What happend? Do anyone know where to order back issues if now Trap let don't have the magazine. I want that one. :-/

Hi every one. Do any one know if there is a problem with the international delivery of this Special issue. I have talked with the kiosk where I buy my magazines and they don't have this issue on there list?? So it don't look that this Autumn special will arrive in Sweden. 😢

For me it depnding of wind direction and also witch feild I am flying on. Some of the model airplane fields is it easyer to fly in one direction.. Little difficult to explain. BR Peter
