What is the vintage music in the beginning of the video ? I loved the whole video by the way

I found my grandpa Joe boat

I love watching all of your videos. And I wanted to make this charging unit. But I can't find the DC to DC converter like you have. I'm not that great with electronics and I was wondering if you could suggest a substitute because they don't have the one that you have. Thank you!

I was given the model as a gift back in 1985 or 86, I swapped it out for a Goldburg Bobcat because I wanted ailerons and only flew slope gliders at that time... I love the motor conversion but why not put a folding propeller on it and activate the brakes on your esc ? And 1 observation I have to point out. You have a gigantic field of soft grass and for some reason you land your beautiful model on the road scraping up the belly 😢 why,,, just why ?

Don’t stop making videos please. The generations are loosing what is the best things to ever happen for our youth to learn from. This is what makes scientist and smart mechanics. The tablet and phone via tic toc anc kids now a days. We need the hobby to relight its big Holy lights and shine so bright the entire world gets back into it ❤️💪💪💪👊😎

Watch my uncle fly one same plane and eng 1964 Delray FL

I just got one of these, the .049 B. Do I screw in the needle all the way to run it or unscrew it a bit?

a fellow named Ralph said the Cox engines are a lot better and thought the reed valve may be the reason. my off hand opinion is that castor oil should be the only oil. Mostly you have to run these little ones for a while to get predictable performance. in modern terms, If a Cox 094 was 50 watts and a peewee was 25 watts this engine is about 35 watts. it sounds like a solid engine.

My McCoy .29, Fox .35, McCoy .20 and McCoy .10 were never hard to start. 6v Batt, and Testors fuel. No problem Wish i could go back.

It's funny that those rubber contact strips are made precisely to shield the contact surface from dust and dirt! Usually spilled coffee etc is the thing that can sneak under the edges and interfere with the contact interfaces...

Thanks for the flights!, , 5 years on. I run a Norvel .074 R/C on 35% and 1 shim, ex-hot plug, with a hand balanced 6x3, and it runs like it should. Otherwise, they all have pretty lazy port timing as per my timing wheel. Norvel's are a great little engine, and I have a bunch of them in different ships. They just need to be "Hot Rodded" a bit for dependability, and responsiveness, and sealed up well. Lots of air leaks on those motors NIB, so they don't like a high methanol mix right off the bat, per say. You'll boil the cylinder rag loose before you put a quart thru it.

Holy Crap... I still have one of these floating around with my old RC stuff!

My pa saved my old McCoy red head for me for over 40 years , so glad to still have it . Never fired it up .

That was cool, I had that experience with my Graubner sail-plain with 0.51 cox TD it stays 5 to 7 feet from the ground for a long time with external tank, was also to rich, was fun

Hey guys I forgot to mention that was a good story and nice little travel back in time to hear about that OK cub 0.49 motor.. whatta beautiful plane that u have therr.I luv luvvv luv those old school planes and motors... I learned on a Cox 189 Cessna with a 0.49 motor and a cox Sanwa 2 ch radio. That was a very expensive bird for a 10 yr kid back in 1983. I flew crashed , and rebuilt that 🐦 bird from 1983 to 1988. I killed it furr good in 1988.. and then 1 day I found the exact same bird 🐦 with a radio all complete at a flea market for $40.. talk about getting lucky..anyways I just wanted to comment on that Kool viiddd and plane. 👍🙃👍

Mike & Richie???? How you fellers doin???? I know u guys aren't chasing any fly aways 🙃🙃🙃.. it's a bit to kold still....haha..just wanted to say hi and hope u 2 guys are doing alright 👍👍👍👍..I've been out flying 3 times thus far in 2024 in March.. weather is getting nice here in southern Colorado..anyways hope all is well guys...take care. RAY FROM COLORADO 👍👍🙃🙃

This was the first 200 i ever went to and i was 11 Years Old

A Freshman 29. I flew one when I was 8 in 1974 with a McCoy 29. 58 now. I remember It was a slick epoxied natural finish with rubber wheels. The guy had done a fabulous job and had helped me in the circle when we flew. Finishing up a Carl Goldberg Shoestring Stunter, that will get a NIB McCoy 35, that I just finished breaking-in. The 35 was pulled down all the way before any fuel went thru. Glad I did. I found some scabs of dissimilar metal corrosion in places it shouldn't have been from sitting all that time.

I found this video absolutely brilliant. Thank you for inspiring me to have a go.

Mike .. Richie , you guys are great man . Can't wait for a new vid from you guys .

How did he find it? Also great video

Thank You for all your help and lots of videos. Thank You!

Rock’n that Airtronics on 72mhz…you’re the Dude!!!👌👌👌👍👍👍

Churches are closed !... That;s awesome man .

Richie , that's a sweet looking plane man . As for the one that's still flying , you need to write under the wing " If you find this plane , call .... to claim your free prize " .

Awesome plane Richie , those landings were smooth man .

Your charger project is great .. I'm building one .. but as far as using batteries ... Rechargeables man .

Excellent tutorial , sweet little project . I just ordered the parts to make this . The electronics come in under 20 bucks not including a battery . my last Big Mac combo was at least 18 bucks , and you can only eat that once .

And there's a nice lul in the air .. BZZZZZZZ .. Splat . Oh man , that was great .

For whatever reason tornadoes snap trees off 15 to 20 off ground and remove church steeples. Mass. just like my home state , NC doesn't get many I'm sure it was a surprise and shock to all.

Hope your running at 25% caster they need a lot of oil,

Really early magician sure looks like one great video.

Great video! I was looking for entry points into model airplanes and got me a rubber powered glider with very nice glide performance and I also plan to do a RC conversion on it next week. I'm also eager to try out if the SuperCap powered Motor from Vincent Merlijns Rookie has enough power to sustain its altitude for some time :)

OK Cub and Testers are the same company, yes?

Look at the prices!!

Nice smooth running engine. No surging, steady RPM

How many McCoy's do you think are still out there? I was lucky enough to buy a brand new one on eBay some tome back. I personally have about 40 McCoy all different size's.

I thinned down a red Guillows prop to about a third of the thickness . I can attest to the amount of plastic dust it creates . I sanded it dry , and holy cow it made some dust . The whole time I was thinking " man I'm breathing all that crap in " so I took a break and went out back for a smoke .

Nice video. I have a question. Will balance be changed when motor is turned on?. I made one free flight too. It flies fine when motor is turned off, but headstand immediately when motor is turned on. Not sure what caused it. kzbin.infon4aJKsgRNE8

Man , that intro was great .

the problem with my piano is, serveral keys have no sound; and one key keeps sounding, cannot stop (if this key is ringing, none of other keys works). what could be the problem?

hey, how are you? we missed you

Do you have any images of the jumper you soldered in place? Great video, thanks so much!

What wingspan please, thanks.

Thanks for the video with a lot of information. What is your opinion on using this drive for Guilows or Dumas models? Didn't you do any experiments? I used to fly with CO2 engines and 1/20 electric RC models. Free models would be suitable for my grandsons. Thanks.

Great stuff 😀😀😀😀
