Sorry I don't remember the names. There were a number of elevators on the ship including the aircraft.

Hi John,

I was wondering if you knew an old shipmate that went by the name "Moose". His name was Rodger Kurfurst (my dad). He told me that he also did something with the elevators on the Essex CVS-9 from 65-69. I was trying to find some shipmates for him. Do Bob Watts or Gene Kelley sound familiar to you?

John, Nice to talk to you at the NEAT Fair the other day. Great Web Site! Too bad the Greeks and Romans didn't have steam powered vertical oars to power their boats!  Hobby on as long as the wife is happy! Bill

Hey Gill

 

great talking to you about the older days of E flying yesterday. I really enjoyed the site as you and are I from the same neck of the woods and have a similar RC E addiction!

 

The arcus . . .was that from plans or was that the old Robbe arcus?? I had one of the original versions of that with the wood fuselage long long ago . I think I picked it up from Jeff Troy in King of Prussia when he had allied hobbies way back when!

 

Brought back memories. . . cut lawns for a month to squirrel enough cash to pick up one of the Robbe Kits, it was sweet . .and I had to get the little hottie next door who spoke German to assist me reading the manualbig grin.

 

Again, thanks for the imput on the dc3 and link to the site.

 

If you are interested, I have a few build threads on RCG, been on there for years . . .Wattflier and RCU are ok but RCG is just too easy to not gravitate to!

 

Can you imagine how fast the E stuff would have flourished in the early years if we had the resounces of these blogs back then??
