. What price nostalgia? Sure, it brings memories, but a lot of effort and frustration as well. NOT opposed, just not enthused. (first successful flights were
not on the Cox-in-a-box classic.)
First airplane I flew was a Cox Skymaster. Then got a PT-19 and later a Testor's P-51. Flew all of them successfully and spent many, many hours out in the street in front of my house flying them as a 10 year old kid. LOVED flying those things. I've got a PT-19 hidden in a box around here somewhere and I'll try to dig it out for the FIIYGID.
