Earl I looked on the emails today and there was the old big wing build along thread that started so long ago. I did have a Butterfly kit in the stock side of the Kit pile marked to be built when desperate. However I gave it to my oldest son. He now has it on his list(much shorter than mine) to be built. Both the other Butterflys need some work on them to get them to fly again.One is just an hour away from ready the other is a week or so.If you boys keep talking Butterflys I might be forced to get the two going plus get the Cake in the air,its on the too be flown stack. Its complete but needs the servos and switches replaced.I think its Elec powered.
I had a mad idea about 6 weeks ago.I would love to equip one of the butterflys with the old single challel gear.I went and aquired an escapment(rubber powered rudder actuator) the old way to fly trim the model to perfection use low power and launch into the very light wind. one click of the butten is left two clicks is Right. or the other way around. O to be back in the sixtys again. Now Earl you need to look up Bonner varie comp and you will see all. I will do it using the transmitter and reciever I have using the snap roll function on Hitec TX
At this point there is no need to get all the vintage equipment I just want to beat the challenge of how we did fly way back then with the one butten. All for now Earl its great to have you back on line.
