Artistic Aerobatics suggestions

[David Harmon]

You got that right Dwayne...I bought a new Bonner 8 in 65' and I
remember how much that hurt. $615 was a lot of $$ back then.
Especially for a model airplane radio! A Volkswagon cost a lot less!!
That works out to $3432.78 in 2002 money taking inflation into account.
Del's $400 PCS from 1970 works out to $1887.86 inflated to 2002.
The Babcock Magic Carpet receiver and Magic Wand transmitter cost $29.95
each in 1956..cost $334.35 in 2002.
Trust me..that Babcock gear took a hellova lot of throwing newspapers to
buy..but by gosh, I was determined to fly R/C...and I did.
 
Dwayne..are you ready to sell me your Digimite 8 yet??
 
Here is a slick calculator for inflation.

The Bonner Digimite was $615 for an 8 channel with 4 servos, complete.
It had closed gimbals and the sticks moved with the trims.  1965
dollars.  Space Control was $500 and the system was an analog in which
the amount of travel/degree of stick movement varied with the air load
on the surface.  I don't understand all the "crying".  Dwayne
