Re: Wizard of Oz
I built a WOO back in the ‘60s. Control was via a mainstream single channel set using a servo. If memory serves it took 4 AA batteries for the servo and 2 for the relay receiver. I lost it up Moel Famau but was lucky to have it returned by one of the forestry workers some months later. The receiver was never the same as the batteries had leaked over the circuit board. I had decorated it with the “Soarcerers Apprentice” on one wing and “Dumbo” on the other.
Ah - happy days.

Re: Wizard of Oz
WoZ was my first r/c plane S/c futaba regen with a servo
Never really managed to get it to fly (= soar) - though eventually did briefly with Horizon 2 ch
So I'm revisiting about 1974 - but only building surface I have is the kitchen table (live in London, four of us)
One asthma sufferer so balsa is out
This my modern version (with apologies)
Fuz is 6mm depron
Wing is 2mm correx, 6mm depron ribs and carbon fibre arrows recycled from the local archery club
Red side is Solarfilm / clear side is doculam laminating sheet
Flies Ok - but flying it on the button I found it tricky to damp out the post-turn zoom - as in previous post
