[NSRCA-discussion] Confessions

[Nat Penton]

I was into rubber power, five and dime scale kits -  stick and tissue, Duco cement. My grandad bought me a Brown Jr and I built a Berkeley Super Buccaneer, which only flew for 15 seconds because it was extremely nose heavy. Then a Goldberg Zipper with a Baby Cyc. This was in the 30s.

I thought it was an unforgiveable sin to exercise any type of controll after launch.    nat

  My transmitter was homemade and I still have it.  I also have the ECE receiver and the Bonner SN escapement (rubber-powered) that moved the rudder.   I left the Kitten in the basement of my Dayton, OH home for the kid whose father bought my house when I was transferred to Washington, DC.  I wonder if it's still around.  Probably not.

    That was the same time I flew my Kitten, at now where the Top Gun flies. Homemade radio and, of course, rubber band rudder escapement.
