RE: What was your first engine?
My first glow engine was an OK Cub .099 I bought shortly after my birthday in 1949. Eventually got lots of flying with it, mostly cl with some rc. Still have it. Still runs. That same year, an uncle bought me a Wen-Mac Aeromite for Christmas. Wore out the pull cord trying to get it started. Finally about 1958, I got one high speed run, with a 5-4 prop, a Walker Balloon tank, and Fox High Nitro fuel.
