AFV of the Month for November 2003

[Joe Sommer <anvilus9-at-adelphia.net>]

Anvilus Machine Works is pleased to honor Frank Pittelli's
antiquated Tiger 1 as our AFV of the Month for November
2003 at http://users.adelphia.net/~anvilus9/ .

She ain't the prettiest.  (pink camo?)
She ain't the fastest.  (The Hetzer can still blow her off the line.)
She ain't the most reliable.  (Don't you hate it when your barrel falls on 
the ground?)

BUT ...  She is the first, the mother of all R/C Tank
Combat vehicles.

Frank has installed at least three generations of all major
systems in his Tiger and she keeps on fighting.

drive - KCM direct, KCM pulley, EV Warrior
track - bike chain, removable bike chain, TTS
electrical - MAG, Diverse, Tri-Pact diode mixer
gun - ???
magazine - rigid tube, flexible tube, pressurized tube

We honor Frank and his Tiger 1 for being first, and for
being the most adaptable.
