I have done this, back in the 70s, and it's not as easy as it looks. After years of flying "rudder-only", I was spoiled to get elevator control with a new 2 channel radio. Ahh the old days!
I think this is one of the best things I've ever seen on youtube. But that says more about me than your film! Thanks for that! I must dig out my old stuff.
I learned to fly on reeds which was not proportional, but it gave 3 controls, but only one could be used at a time. I flew single channel on a Mattel pulse proportional system also.
Great video!!! watching this has inspired me to build my own single channel aircraft just for something different! I have brought my self an Ben Buckle Diamond Demon and found a Macgregor Minimac single channel set with Elmic escapement on Ebay. Hope i have as much success as you show in the video!!!
Ah, that takes me back. I started RC with an old single-channel super-regen radio system. The only thing older and ricketier than that RC system was the power-zoom on that camera though -- I could hear it clunking away throughout the whole video (ha ha). Nice vid, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant, truly how it should be done. Skillful triming! I tired this once with a Mercury Tiger when I was very young. Anyway, it was a spetacular spiral dive and crash, the same gear. Hats of to your mate, thats how it should be done! servoboy
After 20 years of R/C flying I'm building a Veron Deacon with the intention of fitting a rudder servo. Hope it flies as well as your model!

I have never seen anything like it with rubber band powered servo. So interesting. Thanks for posting it Richie....
