CONTROL LINE NAVY CARRIER - 2005/04
Nats: Ted Kraver has offered to serve as event director for the
official Carrier events at the Nats. Thanks, Ted. There are plenty
of openings for other official and assistant positions. You may
volunteer by contacting me or any of the Navy Carrier Society
officers.
Engine Speed Control: The means by which we throttle our
Carrier models’ engines have seen extensive evolution throughout
the years. I’ve described numerous methods in this column, and I
will provide a summary this month of the history and the
interesting throttle options from the past. I’ll end with the method
that frequent Navy Carrier Nats winner and record holder Pete
Mazur currently uses.

THE NAVY CARRIER contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
saw a couple of former Carrier modelers turn out to watch and
find the old fires rekindled. Bill Bischoff was back after taking a
few years off, and his latest model is a Mitsubishi A6M Zero.
