Daniel, you helped bring back some fond memories of the Cox 049 powering a "race" car of sorts that I ran and ran and ran as a kid. Tried control line with a brand new Mustang airplane received for Christmas...totaled it in a matter of seconds and stuck with the car.
Fast forward to about 20 years ago and I got back into RC with my teen son...we had a grand time building ARF kits, learning to fly with an instructor and a buddy box...day we soloed was one of the best in our lives. Many bumps, broken props and mangled landing gear...then a spectacular nose dive into a freshly plowed corn field. Engine and some control parts survived and lived again in another kit. Dang those were good days for a father and son...that son is now a flight instructor with near 10,000 hours of airtime flying daily from field near Phoenix, Arizona...so that hobby really helped him develop a satisfying career.
Again, you have rekindled some great memories...thanks for that!
