Found this gem while relaxing over a coffee...seems RCM&E thinks that Tom tried propo after all...
Evan.
Who knows, but I think we have discovered from research on the
Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread that you can't believe everything you see in print just because it's there. I know for certain that Tom at least experimented with proportional radios because I remember seeing him personally with Ed Kazmirski flying the Taurus-2 for part of a flight. He may have flown other people's planes, and experimented, but I very much doubt he "flew proportional" for two years, then returned to reeds. Every time I saw him during the period where he was supposedly flying proportional he was using Bramco reeds.
That would be a good question for Mrs Brett. I'll try e-mailing her for some answers to our questions.
