[Milsurplus] ARC-2 Control Head Wanted.

[Scott Johnson]

One interesting poinr is that there were few aircraft that had the remote 
control.  Most of the post WW-II Naval patrol aircraft had the RT at the 
radio operators or navigators position, and the pilot could only select it 
from his interphone control.  This may account tfor the scarcity of control 
heads.
