RE: Need a little help with Dale Root's Ascender and American Modeler mag
Anybody remember the Root Low Ender? Many might guess it was an Astrohog from it's appearance. The unique feature was spoilers to decrease lift for landing, that were controlled by escapement. The plans were presented in the March '59 issue of American Modeler. A picture in the article show him, the plane, and an Orbit 8 channel radio with an EBRC flag (East Bay RC). I belonged to both clubs during my time in California, but think the Pioneers came apart many years ago when they lost their last field in the heart of Santa Clara.
