radio controlled model planes.

Norman Welwood, secretary
for the club, explained that the
hobby could be fascinating for
anyone, young, old, expert Or
beginner, interested in con-
structing model planes, aviation
and aerobatics.
It all begins with the purchase
of a plane, usually in kit form.
Mr. Welwood said these can be
put together with only simple
tools and a bit of patience.
The biggest expense is the
radio equipment. Consisting of a
small hand-held transmitter and
a receiver located inside the
model, it gives you control of
functions identical to a full-scale
plane including throttle control,
elevator and ailerons. Flap and'
wheel retraction could be added
features.
Although the radio equipment
may entail initial expense, it is
made to last for years and can be
used in different types of models.
