This is what happened to model airplanes, and why control line flying vanished from American childhood. We go back to the 1962 hobby shop, balsa wood kits, and Duke Fox, the man behind the Fox 35 engine. Did the FAA kill control line model airplanes? Did Cox ready-to-fly planes and RC planes replace patience? Or did we run out of fields, hobby shops, and that second person holding the plane? Tell your story in the comments.
