I was just sitting here thinking that it was just under 30 years ago that I worked at Pro-Line building transmitters. We had the first dual rates. You cold get one and we even let you pick where you wanted the switch. Still did not have servo reversing then, but oh those sticks!!
In 1975 we got $750 for our relatively plain Jane 7-channel radio. To put that in perspective, corrected for inflation, that is the equivalent of $2674 in 2003 dollars. To put it another way, the JR 9303 sells for $600. That would have been about $168 in 1975 dollars. The new Futaba 14MZ would have been $617 in 1975. Just thought it was interesting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
