A side note, younger folks will never know this but COX used to have a flight circle set up at Disney Land and put on demos all day long to show off there products. Once in a while they would have some of us kids that knew how to fly come into the circle to test out there new planes and give them some feed back. Ithink Ieven bought one of those P-40s at the big D when it first came out. There best plane was the Lil Stinker .010 powered. Most of my CL planes Ibuilt, some of them Idesigned too but i did have a few of the COX plastic monsters. My first plane was the Fire Baby, perhaps the first know ARF. The hardware store carried all parts needed for the rebuilds, wing was a dime, fuse was a quarter and they came with a way cool canopy, had to have a place to put the balloon tank!! Those were the fun years when you didn't need to break the bank to fly a plane, you just had to mow a lot of lawns and walk a lot of dogs to come up with the money, mom and dad didn't just hand it out.
