Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Update of activities.

For flying the Oldest Taurus on Earth with the reeds (like) radio in the future I am developing a receiver system. The transmitter is prepared to expand to 10 channels without any limitation

See post 979, this page:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=10815976

The four channel radio is finished and usable for flying. Double simultaneous over the full range of more than a mile. This was the first action.
More detailed information I do show is a separate thread in the; Golden age, vintage and antique RC forum, see : http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11202553/tm.htm

Next step is adding of tone filters, 2 more needed for a Tauri and a second time 2 more for the Orion and the Oldest Taurus on Earth. That will be nice activity for the winter. The radio first will be tested during flights in the future in 4 channel models, gliders and a motor model, rebuilt of the past of my first motor model. Vibration test!

A photograph of the system is shown in this thread, the (proportional) servos are provided of limit and centralising switches, all electronics is removed.

A video is made of the test of the servos after the cupper contacts were replaced by silver contacts. Reliability is acceptable.

More to show in the future.
