RE: [RCSE] Re: Karlton Spindle
I met Karlton, on my one and only trip out of Aus. Took time out of his busy day to show me around. I also submitted a picture in his R.C. photo competition, one time. Other pilots voted on the various photos and I happened to win 1st prize. He sent me out a MPX Twinstar, complete with servos batteries esc etc. I found him to be a good guy (same as Gordy - he is also a good guy). Wishing him success and all the best. We can probably all relate to a bad experience with someone at some time. Not good to keep anger festering for such a long time Jeff.

Even an Ex-Wife was a nice person at once. :-/ Sounds like Karlton is head over heels into a new hobby. Kinda like finding a new wife.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Karlton Spindle
Jeff, Even support from the manufacture is not what I would like to see on the EVO. After two years I still can't find a USB cable for software loading. I do not have a DB type connector on my laptop computer and I have wasted money on a DB to USB converter that doesn't work.

Where have I heard that name before? Oh yes! Royal Multiplex! I bought a 'new' Multiplex vario w/ Hoopes TE probe from them; it was over a month and a half before I received it, every time I called about it Karlton was at a race no-one knew anything about it, and when I finally received it, the manual, receiver crystal and ear phone were missing. (No frequency marked on the TX crystal, so no clue as to the frequency. No help from Multiplex, either, since it had been discontinued.) After Royal crashed burned, and after using every method to track down the Spindles for another several months, his wife finally managed to send the manual. I finally sold it for half what I paid, to a fellow modeler who took the chance that he could find the correct receiver crystal. Most RC sellers distributors give very good service, but my experience with Royal was awful. I hear I wasn't alone. :-( Jeff RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

I bought an Evo 12 about a year ago, and the shop I bought it from had the cable in stock, so I bought it. A good thing too because I needed to upgrade the software (needed to switch shifts). They're around if you look a bit. I got mine from Perry at Aero-Micro in Cupertino Ca.

Re:Re: [RCSE] Re: Karlton Spindle
Wow! Karlton ! What a fun guy! We had good times together selling Multiplex, flying. Thought he'd fell off the end of the earth or something.. God bless him! I saw the K man at the AMA show few years back selling used R/C Stuff.. Felt real bad for him... He was a Good Person. Glad to see he landed on his feet Go Karlton!
