Was all this after Dunham sold out Orbit to the Japanese? I, (along
with Chuck Boyer) used to be sponsored by Bob, but a couple of years
after going with United Airlines, (1964) I kind of left myself out of
the loop. In fact, our entire group started off in different
directions. (Motorcycles, private flying, race boats, etc. but that's a
different time and story.)<br>
I had occasion to fly the first transistorized true proportional that I
knew of ~1958 or so; Zel Ritchie asked me to evaluate it for him. I
flew it a few times and told myself: "this is the way it should be
done." Of course, I told him also!<G><br>

<div>I did not know Orbit did that. I know Proline did. I loved
those Competition single-stick radios.</div>
