so it sounds like you do not have tthrottle control

[TeeBeeZee]

That's correct. The Black Widows, as well as most of the other Cox engines, didn't have throttles. Just start it, toss it, and hang on to it until it runs out of fuel. Beauty in simplicity.

What are the specs on this plane. Weight, Wing area, prop size and pitch. every scratch build i try to make ends up a failure.

[TeeBeeZee]

It's been a couple of years since I built it but I think it weighs approx 28oz. 44" span, 7.25" chord. Have run various Cox .049s and props on it but usually fly it with a Black Widow and a Cox 6x3. This video was taken almost 2 years ago on the day of the maiden flight. I built 2 of these at the same time. The other one is powered by a Cox Medallion .09. Both of them are still flown regularly. See my other vids. There are lots of good plans out there for 1/2A planes that fly well.

Nice fly. What can I get the plans to build the mine?

[TeeBeeZee]

The Flying Models magazine website sells the plans for the Pong Two. The magazine featured it in the early 80s in an article written by the designer, L.F. Randolph.
