| AUGUST 1960 | |
 |
The Aug. 1960 issue had less aircraft arguments and was more radio and boat oriented. The Hill Transmitter the most important article in the issue, with the usually very well documented text, electric drawings and mechanical drawings for the case and its accessories. Very beautiful photos from the R/C at British Nationals and nice articles about i.c. and electric engines boat models. |
| The Hill
Transmitteris was a very detailed article for the radio home builder with the spirit to
have "a transmitter to last a modeling lifetime"; an affirmation that
related to today consumer products times, is surely out! The rig uses valves (electronic tubes) of the 1,5V series, for portable uses. Studied to have a stable circuitry, both for the modulation stage and for the RF stage, by a crystal. Very beautiful and complete was the practical wiring diagrams, the mechanical and hole drilling drawings for the panel. A very beautiful electronic project of these days. |

Photos of an R/C National race are always beautiful to see, specially if the race is from more than fifty years ago. Seem a very distant world when you compare the models from these photos with ours of today, but the excitement that shines from the photos is the same. |
| This issue was dedicated more on boats and their circuitry. This article explore in deep and describe the ingenious radio control set with its electromechanical parts in an electric powered model boat. |  |

Continue the series of articles on transistor theory. They are still today valid for the beginner that desire to know more about the discrete (no integrated circuits) solid-state electronics. |
| More on the R/C boat world, this time with i.c. engine power, other than electric. You can see the complex rigs in the model and a twin diesel engine. How many pieces of electronics and mechanics was need to have the control of the boat! |

Here you see the "state of the art" on the electric servos. The De Bolt servo series from the U.S.A. was intended for use in single or multi channel R/C rigs and for pulse proportional. All was descibed with the table of characteristics, purpose, gear, size etc. Please, note dimensions, weight, complexity and compare vith today servos! |
