RE: From the 60's - What was your 1st plane ?
Hi Everyone;
My first RC model was in '70in Ontario Canada, an AAMCO A-Ray, OS40, radio was a Canadian assembled Kraft 4 Ch.
Destroyed it on 9th flight, flying with Instructor Tony Van Eck rite beside me, airborne pack failed, really high up, controls went all the way over, each one, engine on high; spiralled in at high speed and strained itself through an old fallen elm tree, I did save the rudder tab, the only piece not totalled. As I remember ni-cad pacs were failing all over the country, and the problem was finally solved by Kraft itself by switching over to the newer 'gel cell' nicads, whatever they were. Dat's all I gots re my #1 RC, best regards from a rarely very damp Phoenix,
