I learned how to fly on Cox Pt-19. Wouldn't it be a kick if it was again released. Maybe larger, a lighter material. I blew the chance when Horizon released a RC Pt-19. A nice plan might be the...

We used to take a needle or pin and move the coil until it touched and made contact, put it back on the engine, and many times it worked to get it started.

Yeah for me it was the Cox PT-19 also. It wasn't even mine but my friends who shared it with me. We used a 4'x8' sheet of plywood as a runway to takeoff. Thank goodness for the design and rubber...

So, did they ever release a kit of the VooDoo that was a double kit, meaning the kit that allowed the builder to build two planes? I seem to remember starting but not finishing a couple of old...

I wasn't real big into combat but I remember the guys who flew those. You got a good hemostat to pinch off the fuel line while starting? Also I think they used golf club tubes to put the bladder tank...

For me as a kid, the sound of a model airplane engine two blocks away was like the Sirens in Mythology. I was out the door so fast my folks didn't have time to tell me to be home before sunset.

My first kit built CL plane was the Goldberg Stuntman 21. Wasn't a great 'stunter' with a Golden Bee on it, but I had fun doing the basics.

Yeah, my experience with the Cox PT-19, was exactly that. I did learn to fly on it, but a balsa plane would have been better. But what did I know at 13?

Ha! That's great. We both had newspaper routes. Funny, that wasn't a really great plane to learn on, but it was a great plane. Right? Goldberg Lil Wizard was better. Friends later on had those.
