KO control box
A friend has come accross an old KO control box.
it is an add on for simgle channel to convert a stick movement to pulses to send to the TX. See attached pics.
Anyone heard of this thing and if it worked or not.
Any comments would be apprecieated

RE: KO control box
It worked fine with a compound escapement.
If I remember correctly. one pulse is left, two pulses is up, three pulses is right and four pulses would be down.
Didn't help with a regular escapement.
The black button was for quick blip throttle. Needed a second escapement .

RE: KO control box
I had one, the Aristocraft version, on a Citizen-ship CTX transmitter. One and hold was right, two was left, three was up and four was down. It worked with a Bonner Dual Varicomp escapement. Motor control was a quick blip with a self neaitalizing escapement that sequenced from low to high throttle. It would be great fun to see you getting it working now. Dan.

RE: KO control box
Hello,
I used one in the early 60's witw a Babcock super compound escapement. Using kick up elevator right stick gave right, left stick gave left, and back stick gave up elevator. I never took it apart to see howitzer worked, but it did. It required no batteries and didn't wind up.
I still have a NIB unit in my single channel collection.
