Ace Radio Control Advertisement
January 1970 American Aircraft Modeler

These pages from vintage modeling magazines like Flying Aces, Air Trails, American Modeler, American Aircraft Modeler, Young Men, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, R/C Modeler, captured the era. All copyrights acknowledged.

Ace Radio Control has been around since at least the 1950s, as evidenced by this advertisement on page 51 of the January 1970 American Aircraft Modeler magazine.

I owned an Ace Pulse Commander single-channel unit for a while, and documented the electronics prior to selling it. Photos and the complete operator's manual can be found at the link above.

Ace R/C manufactured radio control systems and a few airplane models up through about the 1990s, when it was bought by Thunder Tiger, of Taiwan.
