Nice little airplanes! When first marketed I had a youngster approach me; wanted to build a C/L model, I advised a 'Mite' and an ED Bee. He purchased both, made quite a good job of the model and then asked if I'd help him fly it. Lines out, engine checked . .then he suggested I fly it first so that he'd know it was OK and that if then dorked it.. it was his fault and not the airplane.

Took off, flew the tank out, greased it in; perfect. He flew it a couple of times, some minor damage but it flew many times after repair.. and he went on to become a very proficient pilot. About 55 years later I broke down and admitted to him that the check flight I'd made was the first-ever C/L flight for this F/F'er .........
