I had a gas engine flying model of this plane when I was a kid. Had the Cox 0.49 engine and dropped a bomb by lanyard control. It was wa-a-a-ay cool in the late '60's. It would not have been in 1939.
Me too! I think I broke it just playing with it though.
I had one of those too, it was black plastic. My Brother had the "Flying Tiger" model, but he crashed it into a telephone pole. Next time I'm back in Jersey I'll have to check and see if my Mom still has it in the garage. No radio controlled stuff back in those days. I used to always have trouble getting the engine to start!! Semper Fidelis.
I bought a 2nd hand Cox Stuka at a church bazzar sale for $5.00 when I was 12. It made one flight. Vertical landings are tough on any plane.
LOL! Me too! After I learned the pt 19 control line trianer.
