<DIV>Ron,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had an electronics lab kit from Allied Electronics when I was a kid.
Had a 12AU6 (or 12AU7?) twin triode tube. I was elated when I hooked
up a hybrid AM radio from the schematics -- and it worked!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Luckily, transistors had been invented by the time I got into RC. My
first radio was a Kraft 5ch Sport Series. Had the big KPS-11 servos with the
linear rack outputs. First plane was a Goldberg Skylane 62 with OS .35. Lasted
6 flights (midair). I had saved up money working during the summer to pay for
that. I was 15. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>When I learned amplifiers in school, we covered tubes first, then
transistors.</DIV>
