<div><br> </div>My transmitter was homemade and I still have it. I also have the ECE receiver and the Bonner SN escapement (rubber-powered) that moved the rudder. I left the Kitten in the basement of my Dayton, OH home for the kid whose father bought my house when I was transferred to Washington, DC. I wonder if it's still around. Probably not.
