5606,
Most people are polarized about their Cox experience. Trauma, or boyhood experience. Trauma were usually people that can't read directions, didn't have help, or don't have much patience and stick to-itivness!
I flew them all, but only a few were mine. Tee Dees were hard to start for me but I ran them too compressed as a child and was only successful when having adults help at contests as they were all on 1/2A Proto and Profile Proto models. The rest were easy and even figured out how to run wen macs and some others. Cox red can Racing Fuel and fibreglass props made any model better, still today.
I still have my 1965 PT-19, Wen Mac Day Fighter, and a few I picked up later. They all are flyable but I haven't done it in years. Should video them, it'd be fun to get them out.
