First Slick Paper and Color Page

Having an entirely new and more professional look and feel, the July 1970 issue was the first issue to feature “slick” glossy paper. And with this change came the introduction to the first full-color feature page of print. Although several major advertisers had fullcolor ads on the inside and back inside cover pages and some two-color ads were previously featured, the Radio Control table of contents page was the first feature portion of the magazine to be elevated to four-color status. On that page was a photo of Ed Sweeney’s VooDoo RC combat ship powered by a Veco .19. Originally a U-control model, Ed’s VooDoo was converted to RC and equipped with Orbit 6-12 equipment.
