Very nice engines Roger and Jim. I used to have some .049s but I have no idea where they ended up. I used to mess with some control line airplanes but never had much luck. 5 to 6 rounds was about it too. It's always really windy at my parent's place and I wasn't an experienced pilot. :LOL: I did have a 57 chevy car that had a little nitro engine in it. I don't remember the size but my Uncle Jay gave it to me. His mom, my grandmother, hated when he ran it in the house. It was pretty fun to me. :LOL:
When the cheaper Styrofoam rc planes came out 10yrs ago I bought a P40 from the local hobby store. I flew it about 4 times and it was going well until the last flight. The plane must have gotten out of range and caught a "jet stream" and I never saw it again. :LOL: I think it ended up in a creek and down it because I looked a few different times and had 0 luck retrieving it.
Jim, that old truck is so cool. You did a great job. The more you show on the rusty 40 the more I like it. So nice!
