<DIV>In this case, he qualifies as a newbie old fart. I first flew an
R/C airplane in 1954. It was a deBolt Kitten, powered by an Atwood .049
and with an ECE single channel receiver. I hit so many trees that my
wife made me tree decals to put on the side of my airplane.</DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Boy this brings back memories. I flew my first
sucessful RC airplane with rudder only and escapment to boot in
1967. It was a Goldberg 1/2 Skylane that probably cost
about $10. El cheapo super regen tx/rx. i would
have loved an ACE system. Last year I bought a couple of orginal kits
on Ebay for $75 to $85. I built one rudder only but electrified.
rudder and motor control only. I really get a kick out of trying
to fly it. Makes you remember when a plane had to be in trim to
be successful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
