Bill,

You trashed my thoughts about getting a little more range with an extention cord for my electric. I still might go ahead with the update if the cost comes down a little. I think I can go with a small size wire as the current draw for this beauty is very low. Note the specially "bent" prop for more thrust, it really hauls this baby around nicely. I still need to update the switch and wiring to more modern methods. I think the twisted line feed keeps all the stray RF out of the supply voltage so really hate to change it, but might update the line switch with something a little more modern. I do have a nice gas powered generator so I can take this to the park to fly it.

Any idea of how old this rig is? Obviously post Edison, but probably not by much. Really a neat piece of antique modeling.
