Default RE: Why not move on to R/C ?

George,

There are some crazies doing it again. Of course their using good radio equipment but modifying to drive escapement relays etc. I thought about it, but I built a Guillows Trixter Beam and try as I may to retrain myself I ended up with 3 channels.

Pulse was fun too, I still have my Min-x gear, the Rand LR-3 (3 function actuator) would work flawlessly on the bench, but once at the field it would strip or rather lose a gear tooth and I'd end up a spectator, there were alot of us then, remember. A good day was only minor damage sustained in 1 flight using an full tank of fuel. Touch and goes?? Ha! touch was more like impact, no more go after that.
