These are the only two photos I've ever seen (courtesy of casniffers image/data base)

I have a nice OS 61SF (non pumped) that I need to find a home for...

Nice to hear Ron's past experience flying this airplane...Glad to see he's getting another...

Anyhow...Here are the photos:

Hi,

Two more photos of Nutcracker. The first photo is taken at1972 R/C Masters Tournament, Huntsville Alabama, and appeared in Model Airplane News, January 1973. The second photo is from an advertisment in Model Airplane News, March 1973.

Notice what Jim Kirkland has in his hand? That's right it's a single stick radio!

Hi,

Yes, single stick radios... Have a look at this picture from 1973 National Model Airplane Championships (NATS). 1st, 2nd, 3rd place used single stick! Pro Line Competition Series single stick, that was probably one of the best radio at that time. I wonder what was the last manufacturer to have a single stick radio in production- I think it was Futabawith the FP-8SSAP (PCM, FM)"For F3A Aircraft" (that was written in the manual),in 1986-1990 or so.
