Elements of Model Plane Radio Control

Information on the budding technology of radio control first appeared in the May 1939 issue of Model Airplane News. Authored by Howard McEntee, the Elements of Model Plane Radio Control column was the first to begin to depict a revolution of sorts in the modeling world. It was succeeded in September 1953 by Radio Control News, when Ed Lorenz took on the task of reporting on the many breakthroughs in this new and fascinating facet of the hobby. In January 1965, Radio Control News took on a life all its own and was transformed into an entirely separate section of Model Airplane News that featured articles on everything from plans and new products to breakthrough technologies.
