[NSRCA-discussion] jr ds8711 servo

[Phil S.]

Well, I don't know about anyone else's age, but I built three different 
HeathKit radio systems, a 5-channel SS, a 5-channel dual stick, and a 
7-channel dual stick.  They all worked (!!! ;-{O ), and I also remember 
reversing motor wires to change direction of the servo.  When I got a 
little more money, I graduated to Kraft Gold systems.  Still have a 
Signature 7-channel "dial-a-crash" that has been narrow-banded and is 
legal today.  Also, I just came into a Kraft Gold 5-channel SS Tx, on 
channel 56, no less, so it, too is currently legal.  Will I actaully fly 
them?  I think I'll stick with my DX-8, thank you...
