I have already written to the man, Fenton?  I think that was his name. Anyway 
he sold the rights to some small company who inturn sold it again. He didn't 
want anything to do with the thing and basically said phone them.
I didn't of course i just built a proto and and had the boards cut.  I 
haven't got back to it yet.  You could poessibly build in a break by adding a 
relay.  Did ya know that when the prop is free wheelin it generates 
electricity.  You could even possibly use that as breaking material.
Let me know how you make out and If I get mine done and installed first (ha 
ha ha ha) then I'll let you know.
Do you know Josh Goodfriend?
Sheeit, I almost forgot.  It was the october 91 issue page 188.  I was going 
to guess and then thought I would look in the stacks:-)  I picked the one 
with the most ragged edge and sure enough that was it.  If you have access to 
a pile of old issues there was another switch a month or two later but I 
thought this one was the better of the two.
