Tosh McCaber Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 RC Modeler Digitrio- a bit of nostalgia! Can't believe that I built this, my first true proportional system from scratch in 1965 (Ok, I'm older than most of you!), from the instructions in RC Modeler magazine (really the top RC magazine in it's day), spread over some nine months, just as the digital/ proportional era started for RC systems. Before then, it was single channel or reeds. I built the whole system, including fabricating the transmitter case and control sticks- unbelievably it worked first time! Looking at the dates, I started it in August 1965, while studying to be an Architect, finished some nine months later, in accordance with the magazine chapters! With a lot more electronic knowledge than I started with! I then had to start learning to fly proportional!) Digitrio_Construction_Manual.pdf Details are in the RC Modeler section of the online RC Bookcase. https://rcbookcase.com/categories.php?publisher_id=2&page=2 This site has a vast number of old magazine titles. The RCM site on RC Bookcase has a huge amount of classic planes and articles as well. ps- I'm still flying- so far, so good! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
