Capt Kremen Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I present here information gleaned from numerous model magazines, books, YouTube video etc. regarding early electric powered models including the efforts of Col. Taplin with his 'Radio Queen'. My apologies for the quality of some of these as they are usually photo copies of old or out of print items. YouTube video of Col.Taplin and his 'Radio Queen' note bank of battery cells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqhMD5iu_gs Here is the 'Aeromodeller' article from the September 1957 issue: However, earlier electric models are suggested including this from 1918: And from 1938 American 'Flying Aces' magazine, the Herb Lozier 'Electric' spanning 64 inches. I managed to obtain a full-size plan of this from 'Model Builder', a(nother) project for one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
