The first flight is always a little nerve racking, but you nailed it. We flew into Cape a couple of weeks ago to drop off a fuel injector pump; it was the first time I had flown into there. Had the opportunity to fly to Oshkosh again this year. We camped with the plane and had wonderful weather all the time there.

Thank you Andrew! Yeah, the new terminal building is really coming along. I got to tour it a couple weeks ago, and it was hard to believe I was standing in my old airport. Great deal on the Oshkosh camping...a sure way for someone to immerse themselves in aviation----airplanes when you go to sleep---airplanes when you wake up! I didn't follow this years as closely, but it seems that there was as much "thunderstorm trauma" as in previous events. Back in 1999, a friend and I spent the better part of one morning hanging on to to Ole Yeller while a storm passed. The plane was tied down, and we surely would have went with it if it had decided top leave, but you can do some silly things when your plane is threatened!

The RR-1 WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE COX .049 motors,,didn't have a Reed valve,,rear rotor shaft induction,! I had one,,!! Great little motor!!

When running a cox with a larger dubro 2oz tank or any tank for that matter do you need the tank pressurized? My cox engine ran absolutely fine if I pumped a syringe of air into the vent port in my fuel tank. The air pressure was enough to push fuel and only then did she run smooth. Maybe the brand new rubber seal has a hole preventing proper fuel flow.

Those are models the way I remember them.Made out of balsa.Thays a good looking plane.I would convert that to R/C.

@Winter_Sportster 29 күн бұрын

Yeah, several of the Scientific control line kits have good proportions to be converted to R/C. This is a Nostalgia Build for me in that, back in 1968 or so, Zipper was my first kit that had a built-up, ribbed wing. My few previous .049 kits were sheet wing types and, as a kid, I thought this put me int he company of the "Big Boys". Thank you for your comment! Kim

@robertzeeland Ай бұрын

I had a bunch'a Cox engines as a kid. Does anyone remember the Graupner Kapitän? I build one from the original plans an odd 40 yrs ago. I liked how the plane came in, all dripping with castor. I fly paramotors now, and think I should be using Castor oil again; the smell of a careless childhood. The ratio between 'gluing everything back together' and 'hours of proper flying' has definitaly improved since then. Thanks for the video WS! Best, Rob ^^

Some of the engines have an integral tank (like the one in the thumbnail), while others need an external tank. The Q-Tee has a fuel tank in its nose that used when a separate fuel tank is needed. You can see its lines right behind the engine on its left side.

@Winter_Sportster 3 ай бұрын

Oh Yeah! Loved them then and now, though like a thoroughbred, they could be a lot more temperamental than our beloved Bees and Golden Bees. They wanted good, clean fuel, which could be a supply challenge for a bunch a rangy kids. One of our bunch put a Tee Dee on his Veco/Dumas "Scout"...one of our favorite smaller control line planes. His first flight was on 30-something foot lines, and it was everything he could do to keep up with the plane. No stunts on this run, but later, on longer lines, it was really impressive. Here's my Bud, Ron, flying his Baby Clown with a Tee Dee .049 at Buder Park, near St.Louis several years ago. This also illustrates his bladder fuel system set-up really well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLmPjbiHtMWcfWg.html Tee Dees are actually back in production on a limited basis from Cox International, but many are available on Ebay also.

I never cared for the COX plastic planes. My favorite was the Carl Goldberg Stuntman 23. I went through 4 of them in the mid 1970s and then scratch-built a fifth from memory in 1992. Great flyer with a golden bee, a diamond in the sky with a Tee Dee. The only COX plane I ever owned was the Messerschmidt Stunt plane with sky-blue foam wings and black plastic fuselage. Flew OK but felt a lot heavier than the balsa kit planes.

So cool we never had this perspective when we were messing with these when we were kids in the 60-70's. Had so much fun with the control line planes.........Lil Bomb.... Lil Bee... Lil Bat

@Winter_Sportster 3 ай бұрын

YES!!!! Riley Wooten's "Flight Line Products" out of Lubbock, Texas!!!!!!!! Those little sheet wings were the first balsa control line planes I was able to "build" on my own. They were around a buck and a half when I discovered them in 1968...about the price of a couple mowed yards or 30 GRIT newspapers sold...followed by a bottle of incredibly expensive Aero Gloss dope! My favorite was the "Lil Bomb" because it "looked more like a big combat model" with its elevator mounted on short tabs out behind the wing. It first flew with the QZ Babe Bee from my PT-19 trainer, followed by another first when I got a new Babe Bee from America's Hobby Center. I learned to fly inverted with the Lil Bomb, but could only make the better part of a single lap because I HADN'T learned how to change the engine's internal fuel pick up. Thank you for the Flash Back...it's probably gonna force me to finish the replica Lil Bomb project that's been on the back burner for a few months! Kim

@funone8716 3 ай бұрын

Of course the first engines came from the wreckage of the Cox airplanes. My Spitfire made about 3 laps before she augered in...then I built the Lil wing that actually flew like crazy. All the kids had to have one when they saw it.

@@funone8716 Yeah Man! After all the leisurely cruising with my PT, the Lil Bomb wing was like a Ferrari on JATO! Our little group of flyers eventually went through all three designs (with some repeats!), and also introduced us to our version of "combat flying". I was a confirmed 'chicken" though, as even these cheap little models were still too expensive to smack if it could be avoided. What great times!!!!

Speaking of alcohol...how its flame is invisible on a summer day, with its first warning being a crackling sound, along with a corresponding bubbling of the plane's paint!
