The B-36 used a 7UAF radio on the flight controls/Gear/Flaps, and the Throttle system was an Ace Silver Seven in a custom box. Slider pots from Radio Shack were used for the six throttles, and one of the original Ace levers for the Bomb Bay. This was an AM system, and had a problem with the RF noise in this complex installation. The main gear were driven by electric screwdriver mechanisms with limit switches and they made a lot of radio noise. We finally got it all sorted out thru filtering and antenna placement.

I want to clarify that we did not have any brakes, and this made ground handling and recovery a bit tricky.

As soon as we fly the Connie, I'll have some pictures to show.
