Default RE: cox control line planes

Hi y'all.

I learned to fly CL on a Cox PT-19 in '77 or so. Man, that was fun. A little underpowered, but it actually glided well, especially when compared to other plastic .049 planes that just fell out of the sky when the engine died (unless you towed them). Next plane I flew was a Testors "Fly-em" Zero. Short lines and tiny wing, but still kinda' fun. Then I got a Cox Corsair. I was just blown away by how loud and powerful the Corsair's engine was compared to the PT-19 and Zero. It was fast and much pulled harder too. I did my first loops and wingovers on the Corsair.

I had the Cox ME-109 too. I was never happy with how that thing flew. I think mine had a warped wing.
