Wow, someone else has or had a Spitzy. I still have mine. But my first control line was a Cox Curtis pusher, in the early 60's I think. I was about 12. My dad built it and was sort of involved with strings, etc. Terrible first plane to fly. I got to a half turn and it crashed, totally unrepairable. I still have a wheel. Next up was a beautiful blue Cox WW2 fighter. I can't remember what it was. A Helldiver? The pilot could eject by a third string. Of course, I could not fly it either, but a friend later did and eventually crashed it too. I always wonder how many Cox u controls never flew
