I consider alot of us rc guys to be "Cox" survivors. Cox was put on earth to weed out the guys who really did nt have the heart for the hobby. I am not saying we flew them just that we surived the hand cranking, back firing, rubber band breaking , dizzying flights , bruised finger all day wasted great times with those cox planes.a
That's great, LoL! We could flip a cox prop over 100 times to get it to fire and not thing anything of it. Fingers cut up and the sting of glow fuel in the cuts, would continue all day till the sunset or my tiny can of fuel ran dry.
We paid our dues to the modeling gods for sure!
Someone learning to fly today would never understand why we put ourselves through that torture.
