Well if I have to use suffisticated methods that you describe then this idea
is also worthless as it would not receive your stamp of approval. I'll give
the plane to my grandson so that it will not go to waste.

Nope, they were range set against a count down counter that was driven

or a screw log).

Perhaps so. Too bad Churchill didn't subscribe to the History
Channel. ;-)

With respect to model airoplanes the controls are limited in power as I
understand it and the range consequently is
somewhat less tha 200 metres. Since all my antennas are worthless
acoording
to comment here tests can be undertaken
on my own property.

You would also need some precision receivers for even those worthless
antennas. For 10M operating out to 200M, only 20 wavelengths, that is
hardly any signal strength change to speak of and to make the plane
dive at some pre-determined signal level is going to take quite a
sophisticated measurement. Keep in mind that neighboring interstate
CB traffic is going to mix in and muddy up the response (your airplane
may follow the next Coke truck to Chicago).
