Thanks for that. I've been away from R/C for some time and hadn't seen that little gizmo.
The Maynard Hill device goes back to the very early days of model R/C - at, or about, the introduction of proportional instead of bang-bang. That's what made it so remarkable .... most of the radio control at that time was done with valve Tx/Rxs!!!
Techman - yes, thanks......... could be that that sort of pedantry would invalidate quite a few records.
Anyway, having been there, done that (not very well) and got an aged, tattered t-shirt I reckon that Mr Hill's efforts deserve a very large round of applause as much for the vision as for the accomplishment.
