And there’s one more thing you should know. The difference in price between an ordinary 5 channel and MRC’s 775 professional system is less than what you’d probably spend for a couple of gallons of fuel. That’s a small price to pay for the best. See the difference at your hobby dealer, today.

NOVAK ELECTRONICS proudly announces the introduction of the BANTAM MIDGET SERVO. By working closely with Dick Rehling, of D&R Products, we have been able to produce a servo that has the power, strength, speed, and durability to perform in any type of air plane. These new servos use the highly advanced Signetics 544 IC, offering internally regulated power supply, dynamic braking, linear ramp timing, and an exclusive temperature-compensated dead-band circuit. Servo reliability is further enhanced by the use of the Clarostat conductive plastic potentiometer and external silicon drive transistors.
