Default RE: Your first CL Plane? just for fun

After the Scientific 1/2-A Hellcat, I built their 12" span Little Bipe with Cox .049 Babe Bee, refinished my brother's Scientific Li'l Devil with Wen Mac .049, Top Flite struct-o-form Mitsubishi Zero with Cox .020 Pee Wee, self designed F4F Wildcat profile, Dumas Li'l Tomohawk, Dumas Airco Aircoupe, Sterling Beginners Eindecker with Cox .049 Black Widow and a Sterling 38" P-51 profile with Testors McCoy .19 Red Head on 52' lines.

Had a slew of ready to flies, but they were basically one shot airplanes. That included a Cox Spitfire, P-51B, and Stinson L-whatever Observation. The plastic was brittle enough that they made spectacular crash scenes. Engines became donors for balsa creations.
