Actually 1976 was my dad's ama number (Bill Calkins) that was his flying saucer. I think he made it around 94 or so. Don't remember if it was a kit or something he just made. And it's supposed to be squirrley, basically made to hand off the prop and super tight flips actually looks decently balanced with the electric. Good to see it in the air again!
Thank you for clearing that out 😮 Your Dad must have been long time AMA member 😎 you don’t have 4 digit numbers anymore these days However it was pleasure to fix it and bring it to sky again 👍 I will try modifying handle for less movement… this should also help keep it steady Stay tuned we will get this model back in sky again my son will fly it he really like the color 😊
He was originally 19760 but if you hosted a contest back then you could drop a number, seeing he joined the ama in 1976 he chose to drop the zero. My number was 6 digits and was issued in the mid 80's.
thats pretty cool. dont see much control line anymore.
