Default RE: Rudder only single channel

HI,

I am an old time (heavy on the old) R/C flier and cut my teeth on single channel models. I got the urge to try it again a few years ago and built a 36" wingspan scaledown of the deBolt Live Wire Trainer. I went all the way on it and flew it rudder only with an old Ace single channel set with a Babcock single channel escapement. It flew a heck of a lot better than I remembered that it did when I built it in 1960. Some of that was because I wasn't afraid of it as I was in 1960. It would do loops and rolls no problem. I used a Cox Golden Bee for power. GO FOR IT!
