Default RE: Do you remember...

For those that are nostalgic I have put together a look back at the history of model turbines in the next issue of RCJI. I managed to dig out some old photos including one of my old Kamps powered delta that flew back in 1997. It ran well but had lots of bearing problems and it we mostly only managed a flight or 2 between rebuilds! The fuel pump was a car windscreen washer pump with metal gears. There was of course no ECU available then and I used a boat speed controller to control the speed. Amazing how far we have come since then!
