Ripmax Pathfinder on 27Mhz with superregen receiver
Brian Cooper replied to Phil Green's topic in Other Radio Brands
Oh yes. . I never had one but I saw a couple of them. Their owners were usually unimpressed. Super-regen was fairly common at the time but the drawbacks of only being able to have one model in the sky at any time were obvious. It was made even more obvious when a hospital a couple of miles away introduced a paging system for contacting the doctors.... the system was on 27mhz, so every time they used it, a battle began to keep a model in the air. Some didn't make it and spiralled into the ground. Superhet was our salvation.
