Default RE: Dale Root's Low Ender

Greetings:
Most of this is from memory and what my dad told me, as he was in R/C with the Sunnyvale, CA Pioneer Club.

Dale Root owned "Root's Hobbies" in Oakland. My dad bought his first radio from Dale, so I am assuming that he was in the hobby before my dad. I would guess that this was the mid 50's as I saw pictures of planes that my dad had from before I was born in 1955.

My dad flew an Ascender and it was a great plane. I have the plans and as soon as I am a good enough flyer, I will try to get it kitted and build it. I don't remember the Low Ender, however. I was pretty young (7) when my dad was getting out of the hobby due to work schedules, and a number of other things.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
