<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No Ron you have to remember it was the gerbil in
the little wheel cage. You had to make sure you fed him well before the flight
or you would loose power on final approach. Then some smart guys were sticking
regulators on the power wheel so that you could control the output for an entire
flight. Some guys were having trouble with their gerbil as he would go like gang
busters for about 3-4 mins and then he was pooped out. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then of course as things progressed the gerbils
were getting sick if the models would go upside-down. This is where the term
negative G's came into vogue. It had a Negative impact on your Gerbil if you
went upside-down.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then of course there was the big Gerbil doping
scandal...Some guy had a cheater switch on his gerbil wheel. When he was tested
before flight the gerbil was putting out power right up to the limit of the
rules. But then before takeoff the pilot would flip a switch and an
electrode attached to the gerbils well you know...and he would go into higher
power output. Some guy used a Pizza to test the gerbil after the flight and
found him to be very badly abused.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or maybe I'm wrong....Its been known to happen
before. Ron can you back me on the details?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ron, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Don't forget the 3V ( 2 D cells) for the
escapement. My first airplane had an 8 ounce 60 volt plate supply.
By the second airplane I had figured out 3, 22.5 volt hearing aid batteries
would work. By the third plane I had NiCd button cells and a DC to
DC converter. I remember the West Coast guys (Dunham,et al) still
using AA lead acid cells that they changed after every flight. The good
old days?</FONT></DIV>
