Model Planes
Anyone remember the control line Cox
airplanes? Had one as a kid. Never got it off the ground long. Crashed
it over at P.K. Yonge. I was crushed for years. A few summers ago, I was
on Ebay and ran across a couple PT 19s for sale and bought them.
One was the red and white one in this video. The other was a blue and
yellow one from the 1970s that I had and two others were newer models
that I actually flew over at Lincoln Middle School. Only the over 40
crowd had any idea what the hell I was doing. It was comical. It was
nice to find a bit of redemption. Yes, I still have the planes back in
my attic in Gainesville. The red and white model is exceptionally rare.
