RE: Your first CL Plane? just for fun
My first was a "Guided Starlet" powered by OK Cub .o49B. Plane was from Consolidated Hobbies in the Bronx, New York by the 3rd Ave elevated train near 161st St.
I graduated to a Jumping Jack (profile by Consolidated Hobbies) powered by a Forster .31 gthen various combat models,Quicker, Diamond, Renegade etc.
All in the 50's and 60's. Then went on to RC trying to fly pattern.
