Looks like Futaba is in it big time.  One of the speed controllers looks to be hard case instead of shrink wrap.

Hi Norm,
Actually, these are motors I would use to power a nostalgia pattern piped-60 model. really good for only 1500W peak where a 2-meter ship is flying on 3KW, these days.
They would be useful if you were contemplating a 90-ounce stunter, though!

Ah yes ... '85. I went simply to cover the event as Press. My room arrangements were messed up and I slept in my car the first night until the Aussies heard and put me up for the remainder of the contest!
Strange, I remember the food as being quite good. The endless mud, on the other hand

... You had a hamburger with an egg on it. BTW, that is normally how they serve hamburgers in the Netherlands.  I thought my daughter was going to get sick at the sight of the egg on the hamburger.

A Royal Red Robin Burger!  (sing "Red Robin, YMMMMM!")

I have a J&J Eyeball not quite RTC that was set up for a Max Goldhead.  I never thunk about electrifying it since the vintage pattern boys limited power choices.  Now maybe...!   

Hi Norm,
Can't say that I do, and I certainly don't remember your daughter's reaction: her manners must have been too good. Gotta' like the infamy part ...
Remember the frijtesauce? Fries have never been so good!

My understanding is that it's just the SPA guys who limited electric, the Mambo I plan to build for VRCS events will have a Torp 29 with the guts removed and an electric driveshaft run through it.

I'm with you, Dennis: though you ought to check on the MAN plan of the last version of the Eyeball: the tail was stretched to make it balance with a nosewheel, and it dramatically improved the plane, getting rid of the proverse roll. Dear old Art said so, himself.

later,
