I watched my uncle Kevin dead stick an Andrews H-Ray into the side of my grandmothers house...It was the coolest thing ever!

The following Christmas, he gave me one of his Cox control line airplanes, and it was all down hill from there! Fast forward 26 years later- My son has the same look of awe in his eyes every time I get one of my planes out...Looks like it will go full circle again when we build his first trainer this year. I wish I got started in rc when I was 5! -Craig

Hey, why not got him and old Cox PT-19 rubber band thing. I hear they fly great. If you want plans for the "Stunt Chimp" let me know. It's a neat little plane you can build for a smile and a wink and is sort of a P-51 stand off.
