my name is Michael Diamond and I have been an active R/C flyer since 1969 (AMA 55859). I am presently building a collection of
vintage R/C radios, engines and tether cars and am writing to inquire if any of your club members may have any old radios or engines
that they would like to sell.
I am looking for radios, engines, and tether cars from the 1940’ s to 1980’ s and will buy 1 item or an entire collection. My contact information is as follows:
