Early 70's the 5 channel open gimbal radios sold for $ 350 in 1973 dollars ! Well worth it cause the Kraft guys radio's would quit a couple times a summer usually costing an airplane while the Pro-Lines were reliable.

The setup in the day was a Phoenix V running a Super Tiger G60 ABC on a Rev-Up 11-7 1/4 on 30% nitro, Pro-Line radio and Rhom Air retracts.. Out slogging it out with the Mach I, Banshee, Trion and the rest..

Remember Dave Brown and those plastic Goldberg retracts ?

I love the idea of the classic pattern, just don't like the no retracts and 4 stroke engines.
