| I was looking at an old plans catalogue dated 1963, the models suitable for R/C where all great boxes of things, the remainder being control line or free flight. It was rather scary thinking of IC powered cars controlled by a tether or nothing other than a piece of stout string and a peg in the ground.
The miniaturisation of electronics in R/C has really opened up lots of new avenues, and the current trend for Robot's on TV shows has made the kinds of equipment more widely available too.
