Somewhere in the attic lies a Fox 35. At one time I also owned a Bantam 19, converted from ignition to glow plug and several 049s, I don't remember the makes. The only distinction I attained during this time was to have come in dead last in a category of the 1953 Cleveland Press/Coca Cola Indoor Air Meet. Exactly none of my model aircraft survived because every single one of them, sooner or later, crashed hard.
After several years of serious modelry, I suddenly lost all interest in the mid 1950s, to which I attribute hormones (I was a teenager then). It was fun, though, and I developed an encyclopedic knowledge of pre-1955 aircraft (since then, I didn't much care).

Eventually my skills improved to the point where the planes simply wore out.RCB http://rcbooth.zenfolio.com/----- Original Message ----- From: "John Jensen" <jwjensen356@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2007 1:18 AM Subject: [rollei_list] Re: OT-Model Aircraft EnginesI'm a bit younger than you (only a wee bit) so I was from the glow-plug era but also from the Diesel era.
