DAM: I'm sorry I saw that AWSOME Model.

I LOVE Round Engines. That's the kind of thing that will make any gearhead SMILE from ear to ear.

The plane in the video is a scale replica of a plane flown by Roscoe Turner, one of the more flamboyant pilots of the Golden Age of Air Racing.

"Gilmore' was the name of his pet Lion cub that he often took flying with him until the lion got too big to stuff into the plane.

That WAS Cool. Anybody here old enough to remember "U Control"..? That was when the plane flew around in a circle as the "pilot" stood in the center, and controlled the plane with little wires connected to a handle, which ran out to the wing of the plane maybe 50 feet away and operated the control surfaces. I think that was around the time the Rotary Dial telephone was invented.

That was before Radios and.....JET engines in our little toys.

Control line was my introduction to the sport. A cox PT-19 with the .049 engine. They usually have them for sale on ebay, and a few companies still make them. Get fun with the kids. I remember the first thing you learn is not get dizzy while flying.
