Baker’s 2006 B-24"},"content":{"rendered":"

In 1966 RC-flying a multi-engine scale aircraft seemed impossible.\u00a0 Frank B. Baker with his 60″ wingspan model that “looked like a B-24” proved this wrong.\u00a0 The B-24 look a like was powered by four Cox TD .020 engines and had only rudder control.\u00a0 It used the technology of the time, including a Mighty Midget motor that was supplemented with a transistorized \u201crelay replacer\u201d – a home-built electronic circuit used to smooth out rudder movement.<\/p>\n

In 2006 Frank B. Baker designed a second B-24.\u00a0 This time, thanks to improved technology, Frank made a 1\/16th scale reproduction with an 82.5″ wingspan.\u00a0 Powered by four OS .10 FP engines it had full control of the rudder, ailerons, elevators and throttle.\u00a0 This model airplane has recently been donated to the museum along with a detailed history of both B-24 models documenting the evolution of RC technology and RC model airplane design.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Frank, for helping grow the museum’s collection!
