4. Profile plane made to demonstrate
engine speed control during flight. Two ABC Stunt-Master control units
were used. The "lower one" operated the elevator, and the other
one controlled the engine speed. Two 0.022 diameter by sixty feet long lines
used for flying. A special handle that had two "Wire Twist"
control units and a clip (which went over the flyer's belt) controlled the
plane and engine during the flight. Engine was a modified Fox .19 that
had a exhaust control device to slow down or allow
the engine to speed up. (***Note this handle is shown
just below the 1/2A Trainer and the Zeroette.)
