Hey Jim,
Now you've gone and just confirmed what Randy has been saying all along about you!

Remember covering those homade rubber jobbies with Christmas tissue wrapping paper and Ambroid. No plastic props. Had to make your own from balsa.First radio was reeds, can't remember the name though.

Ok, if we're waxing nostalgic here, I admit to owning a rubber powered actuator and I'm sure I have some de-thermalizers in a box somewhere.... Yes, I'm a bit of a pack-rat too.

Still have a clockwork escapement about the size of a computer mouse. Weighs about a pound. British made i think. Plus a Babcock single channel transmitter.

I also have an escapement hidden away. The box also contains an .049 Spitzy engine along with an OR .23. I have the plans for most of the Comet and Berkley models I built as well as the Easy Built Models.

Ken;
Those plans would make good models even by todays standards. I still have an Easybuilt kit of a Fleet Canuck that I blew up to fit an OS40 4 stroke.

I didn't think there was enough on them to construct a model. I'll have to dig them out and have a look. I haven't looked at them in years.
