It would cost a guy $1800+ and 6 months to find and purchase enough engines to build that plane today. Those T.D. .010's are getting EXPENSIVE and hard to find new today.

I really enjoy watching the flight with the difference engines. You have a remarkable air craft. Does the plane have ailerons? Thank you for making the video. Ken 10:15 p
@Winter_SportsterАй бұрын
Thank You! I've got some more engines to be flown on the Q-Tee...just got to get around to it. No, the little plane was designed without ailerons, flying with only elevator and rudder control. Mine DOES pack an additional micro servo for use with throttled engines, and some of these will be flown in the next videos. In the 1980's and 90's, we had a bunch of them in our little group, usually being flown with Cox .049 Bee's of one sort or another. It's a great, easy to fly little plane...this one was built by my late cousin Bill, and I like to think he'd get a kick out of knowing that it's still puttering around. Thank you for your comment!

The first flight is always a little nerve racking, but you nailed it. We flew into Cape a couple of weeks ago to drop off a fuel injector pump; it was the first time I had flown into there. Had the opportunity to fly to Oshkosh again this year. We camped with the plane and had wonderful weather all the time there.
@Winter_Sportster2 ай бұрын
Thank you Andrew! Yeah, the new terminal building is really coming along. I got to tour it a couple weeks ago, and it was hard to believe I was standing in my old airport. Great deal on the Oshkosh camping...a sure way for someone to immerse themselves in aviation----airplanes when you go to sleep---airplanes when you wake up! I didn't follow this years as closely, but it seems that there was as much "thunderstorm trauma" as in previous events. Back in 1999, a friend and I spent the better part of one morning hanging on to to Ole Yeller while a storm passed. The plane was tied down, and we surely would have went with it if it had decided top leave, but you can do some silly things when your plane is threatened!

@MassMangoMurder3 ай бұрын
When running a cox with a larger dubro 2oz tank or any tank for that matter do you need the tank pressurized? My cox engine ran absolutely fine if I pumped a syringe of air into the vent port in my fuel tank. The air pressure was enough to push fuel and only then did she run smooth. Maybe the brand new rubber seal has a hole preventing proper fuel flow.

@Winter_Sportster3 ай бұрын
Yeah, several of the Scientific control line kits have good proportions to be converted to R/C. This is a Nostalgia Build for me in that, back in 1968 or so, Zipper was my first kit that had a built-up, ribbed wing. My few previous .049 kits were sheet wing types and, as a kid, I thought this put me int he company of the "Big Boys". Thank you for your comment! Kim

I had a bunch'a Cox engines as a kid. Does anyone remember the Graupner Kapitän? I build one from the original plans an odd 40 yrs ago. I liked how the plane came in, all dripping with castor. I fly paramotors now, and think I should be using Castor oil again; the smell of a careless childhood. The ratio between 'gluing everything back together' and 'hours of proper flying' has definitaly improved since then. Thanks for the video WS! Best, Rob ^^

Some of the engines have an integral tank (like the one in the thumbnail), while others need an external tank. The Q-Tee has a fuel tank in its nose that used when a separate fuel tank is needed. You can see its lines right behind the engine on its left side.

@Winter_Sportster5 ай бұрын
Oh Yeah! Loved them then and now, though like a thoroughbred, they could be a lot more temperamental than our beloved Bees and Golden Bees. They wanted good, clean fuel, which could be a supply challenge for a bunch a rangy kids. One of our bunch put a Tee Dee on his Veco/Dumas "Scout"...one of our favorite smaller control line planes. His first flight was on 30-something foot lines, and it was everything he could do to keep up with the plane. No stunts on this run, but later, on longer lines, it was really impressive. Here's my Bud, Ron, flying his Baby Clown with a Tee Dee .049 at Buder Park, near St.Louis several years ago. This also illustrates his bladder fuel system set-up really well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITCi4iMhMRrg5Y Tee Dees are actually back in production on a limited basis from Cox International, but many are available on Ebay also.

I never cared for the COX plastic planes. My favorite was the Carl Goldberg Stuntman 23. I went through 4 of them in the mid 1970s and then scratch-built a fifth from memory in 1992. Great flyer with a golden bee, a diamond in the sky with a Tee Dee. The only COX plane I ever owned was the Messerschmidt Stunt plane with sky-blue foam wings and black plastic fuselage. Flew OK but felt a lot heavier than the balsa kit planes.
