Default What was the FIRST RC DF model?

Was it the Midwest Compass Cope, designed by BV?
I know there were FF models by Berkeley and Veron, but I think the Compass Cope was the first RC job...

I really don't know, but I do remember that BV's A4 was about the only one out there you could go see at a scale meet and be assured it would fly, fly well, reliably, and win.

Hi,
Bob Violett desing and fly a model
that looks Phantom style ,with the Scozzi
DF hanging belove the fuse,the name was something
that include the word ´´shark´´.
Then,I think after it appear the A-4.

I'm pretty sure the pre-A-4 kit you are talking about was the Sundowner. I was powered by a Scozzi Fan and a K&B 6.5 with an exhaust throttle. Boy, have we come a long way!

I saw an ad circa 1973 showing the compass cope, a sport scale model of a drone, that predates the A4...
I think the sundowner was a plan only, not a kit...
