I usually don't believe in time travel but this video takes me back in time over 50 years to the RC models of my youth. It was single channel rubber-powered escapements and Galloping Ghost back then and a wonderful era in my life.

i didn't have RC but i used to help the men with their RC planes and i remember them winding up the rubber band escapement before they started their planes. we also used to help find them if they got lost and would get a $5 reward if we found them.

@@bidenisasnake9932 It's possible to meet the sub-250g limit *and* therefore avoid RID with a small engine (glow or diesel) powered model. For recreational use, I don't think Part 107 applies (I'm not in the US though).

Ha! That's music to my ageing Limey ears! I used to use my teeny glow-engines to launch lightweight 2-channel thermal-soaring gliders. I had a PAW diesel, too, but the Cox glow-engines were easier to manage because the fuel was cheaper and because I was just a kid and didn't know how to adjust the diesel's compression properly. Remember those power-pods which slotted under the model's wing-retaining bands? 😁 Mmm, messy... Lots of fun, although the rate of climb was never very impressive. The best part of every flight was when the fuel ran out, the screaming stopped, you could hear the larks twittering again, and then it was all about floating around overhead with two clicks of up-trim, looking for lift...

In Germany the Cox'ito' screaming by the name Pee Wee was 0.33 ccm (.12 cui). A most magical little jewel. The one on your plane was I believe called Tee Dee 051. And we all knew about the occult 'Black Widow' type only from the papers coming with the engines. Funny enough the fuel provided by Graupner was branded 'Titan'. Cheers from Munich :)
