Stick! You got me there because I've never heard of a "Charlie C/G Radio. I've Never owned a Kraft Reed System, I graduated to Reeds in 1960. I had a set of F & M, "Matador" 5 ch reeds. I then upgraded to a 10 CH "Orbit" Reeds. My 1st Propo rig was a"Blue Max" 4 ch which was built
from instructions that were ran in RC Modeler magazine as a series to build your own radio. Each month they would publish a parts list and instructions on each step. I purchased most of my parts Radio Shack, or World engines, (Controlair) where you could buy the parts as a "Kit". I also built an Ace, "Silver Seven," from a kit. As you probably know, that kit was really just a "Pro-Line," radio that Ace had purchased the company. Pro-Line back in the 60's- 70's was the "Big Rig" of that era. Back then There were no ARF'S. In fact........The vast majority of kits available were just Free Flights aircraft, that were flown single channel. My 1st Kit was a junior Falcon, kitted by "Goldberg". Anyone that ever built one of those kit's (with their Die crunched wood) would have jumped on any Arf, sold today. Incedently.....My first true ARF was made by "DuBro," Model. That plane ( can't recall the name) was their 1st, and only venture into the ARF world. Those were the good olé days for me. Because when I went to fly on the weekend, and I didn't crash, or have to chase my plane down to retrieve it.........I was one happy camper all week long. Bob
