At the age of 10 my father gave me a Testors P-40 Warhawk control line plane. I flew it to death. Then took the engine and built a profile from a kit, flew it until the dog ate it. Then took about 35 years off from the hobby but never lost my passion.
I had every Testors, COX, TD plane they ever came out with at some point except the PT 19. The P-40 was my favorite plane but I found it too under powered and could never fly it very well. That and my lack of skill!! There Little Stinker was my number one plane. $10.00 a piece, wish I had a full unopened collection of every plane they ever built today!!
Glad to hear that plane got you into the hobby! Even if I couldn't fly it the plane was just so cool!
