Flew my first Control line Cox PT 19 when I was 14. That was somwhere arounf 1973. It is the reason I bought my first giant this year, of course it is the PT 19. I have only been actually flying for about 1 year and 4 months. I have six planes now and climbing. In the process of recovering my Hangar 9 easy 2 trainer. GIving it to my father inlaw who's an Air Force guy in his 70's and wanting to learn to fly. I am totally hooked on this hobby.
