any merit in running dual battery packs ?

[Bill Glaze]

Dean:
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.)
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>
