RE: Your first CL Plane? just for fun
<h3><font size="4">Bought 2 planes from a 6th grade class mate in 1956. Flew them a couple of years. one had a <font size="4">McCoy 19 the a Green Head Torpedo 29. The planes were Black and White. In <font size="4">'58 <font size="4">8th grade built a PT-19 Blue and Yellow. Never Flew it gave it <font size="4">and everything to my cousin. Went into the USAF in 64 got an article 15 from Staff Sgt Peters for having DOPE in the <font size="4">barracks some thing about being </font> (FLAMABLE)</font></font></font></font></font>. I was building a Stuka Flew it ounce at Canute AFB and left it there but took the FOX 36X .... Bought my parents place in '84 and my 9 year old son david found a Profile P-51 with the froze up Fox 36X on it and a broken Vertical stab and rudder. He got it running and we started to learn to fly together. Stopped into a local hobby shop and there she was our first R/C Plane ... Pink and Yellow Banana Shaped Great Planes 60 Trainer w/ a K&B 61. Joined the AMA and a club and after the first 19 Dead Sticks by JIM our instructor we replaced the K&B with an ASP 61 and learned to fly. Well like a lot of young men David found Girls and Cars. He's the proud owner of many Toys with 4 wheels. Particularly his '68 Chevlle . Asked him one time how much he had in it (Had it since 18) His answer was quite appropriate I thought. <font color="#800000"> "I don't know, I don't care, I can fix it, and it doesn't Whine.</font> He has never flown again but I can't get in my own 3 car garage for his toys.
