Hi Roger: How are you doing? Well, I hope. Have you ever thought about
giving single channel a try again? It has crossed my mind. I had a lot
of fun with "rudder only" and a 1/2 A model back in the late 60s.
Remember when World Engines came out with that little single channel
proportional rig? I got one and put it into a Ace high wing model. I
can't recall which one, but it used a rather tired .049 for power. I put
hundreds of flights on that thing and had a ball. Talk about cheap to
build and cheap to fly with a large return for the bucks! And the looks
you can get when you talk about aerobatics with a "rudder only" model.
"Min-X" , ah, the memories.... Thanks guys.
