it was in the late sixties. When and to whom did he sell the company? Which
flavor proportional was the radio you spoke of? I assume it was an analog of
some sort. You know, when you look at the architectures used by the designers
at the bleeding edge, back then, to get proportional control, it was awfully
inventive. Even in this all-digital age, there may be something useful there.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

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>
