Thanks, folks.

A friend from Mongolia is coming to town.  Whenever he visits, he gives me a list of stuff to get for modelers there.

Hey Howard;
      Didn't see your thread until today. If it's not too late for your out of town friend this is a decent place for what you want:

The sailplane guys use them alot for receiver packs.

Thank you.  On the other hand, it is somewhat disturbing to see so many old combat fliers interested in electric stunt.

Well, I am getting old but I'm actually not interested in electric stunt or any electric U/C or "R/C-U/C" (seems counter intuitive) but I do fly stunt type airplanes for fun with some other old guys at the Narrows. Just happened to be lurking and saw your request. I was flying quite a bit of molded sailplane stuff for several years (F3F, F3J and AMA thermal). Went to Slovakia for 10 days with the USA F3F(slope racing) team in 2008.
