Very first was a plastic Testor's Cosmic Wind Christmas present. My parents live across the street from a huge park in Long Beach so I put gallons though it. Eventually tried to stunt it. Glued it back together and tried again. It never did stunt but it flew and flew until it was mostly glue.<div>
</div><div>First built-up was a Carl Goldberg Lil Wizard with a Cox Babe Bee 049 scavenged from a Cox Shrike prop rod. Put more gallons through that one. Didn't stunt very well (tended to flame out inverted) until I put a Cox Black Widow on it, then it stunted like crazy. Flew it a couple of years until it was nothing but fuel-soaked mush.</div><div>
