have to agree with jimmy, we need to be able to time the new guy without expecting him/her to lash out on a PT which they may or may not get any benifit from if they decide RC isnt for them, some clubs do carry PT's for this use, but get very nervous about them going missing, a simple battery operated version of the PT would fit the bill.

couldn't agree more, I'm always banging on and on about handouts, I run a small friendly club in norfolk, we have plenty of young families really enjoying the hobby, but on a really tight budget, I don't use AMB, but I wish I could, but if I was how could I ask a dad with 3 sons who want to race to pay out £200+ on a little red box's so they can race at club.+BRCA membership+club membership + race fees.

I'm with Jimmy, In this economic environment do we think AMB are going to do anything but find as many ways as possible to extract more money from as many racers RC or other as possible?
