It was in a mid-to-late '90s issue of PAMPA "Stunt News". I believe the gentleman's name was (probably still is, too) Fred Bachl. Our directory has him at 12985 Waterman Rd, Brooklyn MI 49230-9508, phone (517) 592-5758. If that doesn't work, try his son, Rick, at 4057 Heather Ct, Northampton, PA 18067-8572, ph: (610) 760-9248.

If neither is available, contact Glen Allison at 1484 W. Oak Shadows Dr, Tucson, AZ 85737-7721, ph: (520) 575-0359. I was at his home last night...saw two Expo Cranks "bread-boarded" for test.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Uncle Mikey, I'll check my back issues of SN. I originally thought the article was published in MA so this saves me from going through a ton of books looking for the article.

Fred & Rick Bachle, stunt powers at Rouge Park during the hayday of the Fox-powered Nobler.

Haven't heard of them in 40 years.

What's next, Pat Zielkie?

Hi Dennis,
I did a report on it in SN in my column. 1996-97 (??)
I have a mock up Fred sent me, along with a letter, around here.
I haven't tried it, though it is interesting!

Drat my membership started in 1999. I'll have to check with a couple of other local members to see if they have the issue.

Thanks for the information.

RE: Expocrankedited#7 source
there was also info on a dual fulcrum bellcrank(similar to the expo crank, same principle) in the original Humbug article, and I think also in the updated Humbug in Model Aviation. If you have the MA cd's a search on Baron should turn it up.
