Control line Storm Launcher. Plus Night Flying Zero converted to U-Control. Maiden Flights.

I've been around the block with all kinds of model airplanes over the last 55 years, so just going back to the "roots" is lots of fun for me as I mix History with the Present, and still learning at age 62!
Storm Launchers have always been a favorite of mine, and since having recently made a couple of vids about the old Cox U-control planes, I've been experimenting and converting some of my electrics, including this old Air Hogs Storm Launcher and Great Planes Foam Fighter Zero, with lights. Both planes can be easily changed back to RC as the servos and radio are still installed. Just put the pushrods back on.

Thanks again for Watching, your Loyalty, Subscribing, and Rating.

[SvenOkonomi]

Have a go with that while standing on a rowboat in the middle of a lake! :-D

Nice job you guys! I remember the "older kids" on my street flying U Control planes and they were hassled as well. They were indeed, quite loud but they were cool to watch. Until these videos of yours came out, I haven't seen these things since the early 70's. The "Nightflyying" touch is very cool as well. 5 stars!

One of my friends caught a cox 049 mustang to the dome it was pretty gruesome... I guess thats why they dont make them anymore. NICE VID DAVE !
