What a wonderful time! My father is one of the pilots in this movie that flies the models. He loves his times working for Cox and at the Flight Circle at Disney.

The awesomeness of this film cannot be overstated. Thank you...

This time is gone.

Clearly a Japanese pilot.

Pilot arrogance

This gave me a headache

you mean...no fireball!!!!!

The injuries mustang 😅

I have collected almost ALL the surface car and buggy ROSSI engines over the years. Great looking engines. Good history of this hobby

8:22 they even got grandma working on the engines💀

I brought a K&B new in the 90s, it vibrated so badly the crew’s came lose.

Keep collecting them. Great Mtrs.

Roses the Riveter?

These women assembling these engines! 😊 awesome work!

This is why I don't attend air shows...I don't need the nightmares.

I know I’m 13 years late on this. Can someone please make me aware of why or why not they had to be so close to race course? In other words, how would logical safety measures not be put in place to at the very least give viewers on the ground a buffer incase a plane happened to have a malfunction and fall out of the sky? Just seemed stupid to have even a part of the crowd stand right under where these planes were flying.

Thanks for posting this video!

I didn’t know the Japs had an air show

Thank you for dreams fulfilled mate

Ahh, the memories of youth and aviation, good God this brought back a time when when flying model airplanes was awesome!😊

Australian here. Yes we had Cox models and engines. My first Cox was a Corsair F4U witha .049 engine. Then had flying wings with O.S.Max and finally a blue box Top Flight Nobler with.35 Mercury. Those were the days and so lucky to be part of it like a lot of you folks.

Merci pour le partage, sympa cette vidéo ! j'aime bien les moteurs Cox !

It slammed into the ground so hard that it couldn’t even catch fire

SHOW ME THE PINK MIST~

What a great video, the era of the high speed plastic bearing cage , and young ladies shy at the thought of a camera in the face.( Never getting back to that , soak it up kids )

3:24 ‘Progressive’ must not mean the same as it did back then, nitro planes are practically banned in progressive cities today. 🙁

I am from Australia and i purchased a 2.5 COX from USA when i was14 i am 80 now had a lot of fun flying planes in those days the main problem was the fuel cost

Now boy get groomed by men in women's clothing and emasculated by fat women with blue hair & a beard.

This person is so dirty that the camera focused on its own dirt.

1st job in Jr High - Rouge Hobby Shop Detroit, giving all my paycheck money back in exchange for employee discounted parts - lol Love all model aviation, but control line forever !

I owned a second-hand Cox 0.49 In the 1960s but would never have had the money for ready to fly model so I built my own from FF model out of Balsawood that aircraft now lives at the top of a tree in a wood somewhere in Kent. I never did find it should you come across it (55 years later!) happy for you to keep it.

my first ccontrol line model was a cox curtis flyer model, and was so under powered by the small cox engine that it had a hard time staying in the Air, and dad then bough the Cox P40 flyer (because he serviced the real planes during WW2). BUT it was heaven to a ya young boy, andwas such fund i still 70 years later, treasur those moments whithe tears in my eyes. would kill to find of of them again.

What a throwback!. The hobby shop depicted in the film was none other than Reginald Denny's located at the northwest corner of Hollywood Blvd and Van Ness up to about 1963 or 4, If I recall correctly. Later I believe it was sold (still retained the same name) and relocated to the northwest corner of Sunset and Western. I used to frequent the latter location pretty often which also had an enormous multiple lane slot car track with 'events' every weekend. A fascinating hobby shop with all sorts of various scale model aircraft hanging from the ceiling. Who knows how many gallons of HB glow fuel I bought there. They also had an amazing selection of balsa planes doped and solid wing and of course. I bought and asssembled Estes model rockets, had a Cox Shrike tethered high speed speed car, as well as the meyers manx dune buggy, Cox PT-19, Stuka JU87D dive bomber, I pretty much spent just about everything I earned at that hobby shop. I was a paper boy, or 'caller' (i.e. "Bobby Kennedy assassinated - read all about it!) selling newspapers at the Hollywood Ranch Market on Vine Street after school from Junior High. I saved up my dollars ($14/per week + tips back then 1967-1970). I'd earn additional bucks mowing lawns and cashing in pop bottles. I still remember the 12oz soda bottles were 3c while the larger 28 or 32's were a nickel. As an interesting aside: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 7 PM like clockwork - a chauffeured black Cadillac sedan with tinted windows would pull up and stop in front of the stand with the right rear window cracked open about an inch or so. Frank, my paperstand owner/boss mentioned this as part of my job and he simply said, Just slide a copy of the Variety and the Racing Form into the window, it never changes and he never says anything. He'll hand you a $10 bill and never wants the change (back then, the both of them were about $3 so this was a major tip!). On X-mas it was the same routine, difference being I'd slide in the papers and instead of a $10 it was a crisp $100 bill ! - Frank finally let me in on who it was. It was none other than Howard Hughes. Howard Hughes Headquarters was at 7000 Romaine not more than 2 miles away. Anyhow great film footage and thanks...for the memories!

Great times. The best era for toys and hobbies.

I wanted one of those Comanche so bad. Just didn’t have any money.😞

Hard to believe he walked away from that👀

This was the kind of thing that was normal once upon a time. Of course now the populous laughs at this sort of thing, but I would bet each kid from this film, probably close to 65 years ago now, became successful in life. Something that society wants to destroy for some reason since we have turned our nation into a cess pool.

Everyone's first engine was a K&B .40!

I won my first cox plane selling Christmas cards back in 68

Best toys for young guys ever!!

I wish MECOA would start producing the hay's tanks again, The 3 and 4 oz tanks were perfect for Profile control line models, nothing else better. However they have been out of stock for years. I guess I will have to be protective of my stash of Hay's tanks.

Ah, the good old days. No PPE, not even gloves. The only guy with ear cups looks to be rockin' .

I had that PT-19 trainer! Little did I know that I would spend 24 years in the Navy.

I had a K&B Stallion .35. Installed in a Nobler Model plane.

What wonderful times, with a small u line plane my friends and I had fun on Saturday and Sunday mornings, today we have everything and we are not happy I'm almost 70 years old now.

I grew up with Cox products. Dune buggy, P-40, Stuka, Dauntless ect.

Necesito bujías .049 y/o adaptador a bujía OS #6-8. Y Fuel en Baja California México. Cerraron tienda Cox en Chulavista CA,Usa. 😭

What a treat! My first R/C engine was a K&B .40, thanks for putting this up.

The engine's don't sound like Cox . Cox bee's scream !
