still have my 27.255mc Babcock transmitter and receiver plus the compound and
SN escapment. I had a 6' Buzzard replica with a Mcoy 35 Red Head. I doubt it
still works. Had to carry 5# of batteries; A, B and C. Lots of fun flying. If
you could get the plane back down without breaking it, you were lucky. One
flight per day was normal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

??<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Jeez, you newcomers like Oddino and van Putte make me
smile. How about 1954: state of the art was Babcock 3 channel, TUBES
for gosh sakes, plug in relays, a 3 channel radio that weighed 3 lbs.,
super-regenerative front ends in the receivers, escapements (driven by wound
up rubber bands), non-self neutralizing servos, only one RF frequency,
unless you were a Ham radio operator, (27.255 mc, or 452 mc.) Most
used the engine of choice, a Fox .35, when K & B brought out the Green
Head R/C with coupled exhaust baffle, it swept the field. And, I was
there! <BR>I could go on and on, but don't want to put you young 'uns to
sleep.

Gie. I went out in my goodie box and found one in a package with

it made a big difference with cermet elements that would wear holes in the

Geez! That seems like <U>forever</U> ago that we fiddled with pot

wouldn't put up with that.
