<DIV>Channel 04? That is a ham frequency, is it not? If so, then you will need more than a crystal change to put it in the 72MHz band.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The 4 pin connectors are Multicons. As long as the servos only have 3 wires, then you could probably get them to work with modern stuff (just make sure the logic level is compatible). I agree, is probably better to splice in new connectors. And servos that old, I would at least send them in for service. The lubricant in the feedback pots could have dried out, and the wiring could have become brittle. Personally, I would lean towards installing new servos, at least on elevator and ailerons.</DIV>

<DIV>(And, yes, I am old enough to remember 4 wire servos. But I am NOT as old as RVP). :-)</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought a Tiger Tail III many years ago that was built way back, and has nose and wing retracts. It has Kraft servos and Rx, and a Signature Series Kraft Transmitter with it on CH 04, stickered in 1993.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Radio was built as a Custom model in March, 1978</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am replacing the Rx and Tx batteries.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Several questions I need some help on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Where can I find some 4 pin connectors to make up adapters if I need to use a different TX and RX--my old Ham license is long gone..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Where can I find some kind of a Manual on the Radio.This plane has retracts on the nose gear and wing gear, 2 servos on the throttle, normal Ail/Rudder/Elev. setup for the time built.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Where can I find xtals to convert to a regular channel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Engine is an OPS 60 almost new-very good shape-and I am cleaning it up to use.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Plane was flown several times --too fast for the builder, so it went in the ceiling in the basement until I found it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My intent was to kit the version (III) and I built a plug for the fuse and canopy, and layed out the planforms and airfoils. Then building and kitting the 2 meter planes got priority. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fixing it up for Ballistic Pattern--</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any info--</FONT></DIV>
