Default RE: Register here for a Rudder Only model cookup

I'm amazed at the number of replies that came on while I was out for dinner.

OK, throttle or a cutoff is permitted since it'll provide a comfort blanket for those of you that still don't trust the concept. But you have to agree to at least TRY not to use it as a built in elevator control which is what it'll act like if you're jazzing it all over the place. Besides, that way we open up the door to electrics as well and that may be fun.

Using an Airhog twin motor setup is sort of like rudder only. And this is all just for fun anyhow so yeah, build something for it if you want.

Plans.... I'll PM Dave Fritzke and see if he can put up a special collection of RO plans from his collection to support this event. There's also a lot of candidates in the Vintage RC Pond collection hosted by the AMA I would think. And I'm sure that some of the old kit plans are still available. Also I'll have to check but Model Airplane News should still have all it's old stuff up for sale as well. Perhaps some scans of pictures taken from the old magazines for those of you that won't remember all the oldies would help. But no complete articles just so we don't tread on the copyright god's toes please.

And yes Steve, this part of the Universe covers up to .15 so you're in...
