Yes, I will install a small UMX receiver unit. Otherwise I am a bit afraid that he will fly away.

Yes at least A Better chance anyway

super super cool

I wanted a Gasparin for the longest time. brilliant motors

keep us posted on your build! cool!

Nothing at all wrong with Gasparins-they were what the second generation (ie 70's 80s) CO2 motors should have been but weren't-and an order of magnitude better than their predecessors such as the Telco, Shark, Modela and DP-03 in reliability. There was even a set of RC gear specifically made for C02 use back in the 90s.....not surprisingly it emanated from the Czech Republic...just like Gasparins...(I have one..its pulse proportional-so very light for its era.....but doesn't really bear comparison with the current crop of equipment intended for indoor R/C use-and still only gives you rudder control-whereas now if you wish you can have full house R/C for only a few grams....though I admit retracts might be a bit of a challenge at the size and weights we're talking....

PS Aeromodeller published a CO2 R/C model for this equipment back in Nov 94, named the 'Quark' by well known UK designer, Peter Miller. A separate review of the CETO 27MHz pulse system was also published in the same issue.....pioneering stuff....
