Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / October 2009

50 years ago I was flying control line on a dirty grass field. After a tip

again.  We never stopped to carefully clean the dirt out of our motors.

I got lucky the other day when this fellow came to our field with a
half built electric glider. He said he started it ten years ago and
just lost interest and he gave it to me. Its a GP Spectra but it
requires a rather unusual battery. It uses a seven cell 8.4 volt 3600

Hi urmr-ca,,
