Answer
Hi Jarod,

If you have a transmitter with that RC gear, it is no longer legal to use it. Actually, all of the radio gear has only historical value and is no in use today. Here is a link: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3819/is_200401/ai_n9389067/pg_2

The Enya .19 might be okay, if the varnish is cleaned out of it. The plane may or may not have dry rot and loose glue joints.

You could check for a new radio at Tower Hobbies: http://www.towerhobbies.com - I personally use Hitec radio gear, but Futaba and JR are equally good.

As far as the plane goes, I have no idea, as the radio and engine didn't usually come together in the 1970's.

Sincerely,
Ken
