OK, you should be able to use a Futaba G series (Gold box) transmitter if you want to. But that's as far as it should go. LOL Anything that wasn't "programmable" except for the pots that set up your dual-rates. "Snap switches" are right out! VBG</DIV>

<DIV>I guess the Futaba 8 channel radio of that era had some pretty advanced features but not many guys had them. Most of us just flew the plane - remember what that was like?</DIV>

<DIV>Well, lets keep it completely vintage. Non computer radios. Proline or Kraft only, (no 2.4g conversions!). No schneurle engines (can you still find decent cross-flow engines?). Fox plugs. Dubro chrome hub wheels, or the really heavy Kraft wheels. Wooden Top-Flite or Rev-Up props. </DIV>

<DIV>(Sarchasim off...)</DIV>

<DIV>Lets face it, some concessions have to be made to make it at least practical. How many of us would want to dig up a 70s era engine and keep it running? I don't think it is the equipment so much as it is the flying style that they are trying to recreate, and my hat is off to them for that. It won't be everyone's cup-o-tea, but neither is today's pattern.</DIV>

<DIV>I'm with you John. When I was into racing anything vintage had to be....well...vintage.</DIV>

<DIV>Electrics in SPA? Jeez, that's kind of hard to stomach. Next they're going to allow electronic fuel-injection and anti-lock brakes in Vintage Sports Car Racing. LOL</DIV>
