soon as you said 49 the bell starts ringing in background..life is good

This is one of the all-time great aeromodelling videos. It has everything in it!

Very cool, I actually have a windward that I rescued, still in kit form, in my collection that I need to get built. I fell in love with this plane when I was building a wanderer in the 70's. Fun video guys!

A piece of history, the Herky bear would be proud of you. Great video.

I used to fly .049 Ukies in the late 50's to early 60's, I only flew Cox engines on a mix of Cox RTF plastic planes and balsa kits. While I never owned one or even saw one run, I always had the impression the OK Cub and the RTF planes were of a lower quality. Cox ruled that time period, even though I saw a lot of guys flying .049 engines, I never even saw a OK Cub engine in the hands of a flyer, they were pretty much dead. They might have been popular somewhere else, but not here in Okla.

Nice flights guys! Just great to see you two out having a good time. Thanks!

I had a gentle lady with a power pod.

Hehehe...that's too much fun! The last glider needs to be dubbed the Nap-of-the-Earth Glider ;-) Well done! See you in the Air!

Hey guys I forgot to mention that was a good story and nice little travel back in time to hear about that OK cub 0.49 motor.. whatta beautiful plane that u have therr.I luv luvvv luv those old school planes and motors... I learned on a Cox 189 Cessna with a 0.49 motor and a cox Sanwa 2 ch radio. That was a very expensive bird for a 10 yr kid back in 1983. I flew crashed , and rebuilt that 🐦 bird from 1983 to 1988. I killed it furr good in 1988.. and then 1 day I found the exact same bird 🐦 with a radio all complete at a flea market for $40.. talk about getting lucky..anyways I just wanted to comment on that Kool viiddd and plane. 👍🙃👍

Windwards are great. It was my first glider back around 1973 at the bluffs in Long Beach, California. Now I have a Chinese ASW-28 but not flown yet. Thanks for the show, Thailand Paul

Outstanding! Classic glider and engine combo.

Marks Models gliders where the BOMB Love Them All

Some old beauties there 😁👍

Yall got the coolest videos.

Fun flight

Richies last flight reminded me of a light weight thermal glider with 2.8 m wing span I had about 40 years ago. Usually it climed slowly but steadily with a Cox 0.49 BabeBee mounted on a pylon. But sometimes, if motor was not running with highest possible speed, it refused to climb. That´s how you become expert in flying big models for long time at very low altitude. 😁

My dad had around 3 ok cubs another 1/2 A size engine of that time was the Halland hornet

Thank you for the history nice video

Awesome video. Btw, the .024 was available in glow. I have two. One on the Cub Go-Kart and an airplane version.

That was cool, I had that experience with my Graubner sail-plain with 0.51 cox TD it stays 5 to 7 feet from the ground for a long time with external tank, was also to rich, was fun
