Cox P-40 that made it about 2 laps before I piled it in. THEN i went the pt-19 route! Between my brother and I we had a bunch of those cox planes. P-40, pt-19, "Invasion stripe" Mustang, Super Sport, Me 109 stunter, F-8 crusader, are the ones that I can remember. I also built the sterling beginners Eindecker after the pt-19. After we got better we built combat kittens, and the CG lil Toot. Built a sig akromaster with a medallion .15 for power, then we moved up to r/c !
Back in college, some fraternity bros and I were talking about the fun we had with those cox planes and made a trip down to Toys-r-us and picked up a few planes. We had a ball with then all summer long.
I have a sterling beginners sterling bipe down in the basement that I picked up shortly after estes bought them, maybe its time to pass on the madness to the kids...
