May 1957 American Modeler
[Table of Contents]Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.
Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
I owned an Ace Pulse Commander single-channel unit for a while, and documented the electronics prior to selling it. Photos and the complete operator's manual can be found at the link above.
Ace R/C manufactured radio control systems and a few airplane models up through about the 1990s, when it was bought by Thunder Tiger, of Taiwan.

Use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator to see what items cost in today's dollars. For instance, that $97.95 Transmitter would be $785.61 in 2010 money.
