Cox ME 109 Super Stunter
« on: August 13, 2018, 07:05:31 PM »
MY favorite Cox plane other than the P40 and the FokkerD7, is the Super Stunter. This was the first plane I learned to fly inverted! Larry, if you designed this one, thank you! I flew the version with the hollow wings and because of that design I encountered an exciting flight. Cox fuel made its way under the clear tape which attached the wing to the fuse. The outboard wing slid off and went fluttering in the air to the ground. To my amazement the plane kept on flying and soon made a safe landing. Glad it had plenty of wing area. :D Later in the mid eighties I called Cox and bought enough the replacement parts to build another Super Stunter. Cool plane and great memories. Richard

Yup, I plead guilty to the design. I had a lot of tuning help from stunt legend, Charles Mackey.
Think S.M.A.L.L. y'all and, it's all good, CL, FF and RC!

            I took mine out a few weeks ago. Brand new never flown Me-109. My son Shawn took it up and it needed a few things. The old glue separated at the trailing edge so it was flapping and fluttering keeping the speeds down. The outboard tip flew off which had tip weight in flew off due to the glue. I managed to use RC-56 and put everything back together again. Now for some better flights. All in all it was certainly neat to see that .049 hauling that plane around. A big thumbs up and a smile.
