This may sound strange but my favorite model I have had was my Scientific King Cobra. My first wood C/L plane I built. It was BIG at the time. 27" WS, built up wing, profile fuselage. I did my first wingovers, loops, lazy 8s and inverted with this model. Actually flew it inverted. Great stuff for a kid! Ever present Babe Bee .049 for power.
In the past couple years I have actually picked up two complete kits, one with a split to the canopy. I intend to build it, finish it in the same colors and fly it very soon. I will use Spiderwire for lines instead of Dacron. Might use a different Cox engine, or not.
This will be a quick, easy build and quick to finish but I will make it look a touch better. (like seal the grain, possibly) Hopefully this will get me back on the "circle". It is all like starting over for me.

Go for it Big Bear. A couple of years ago I relived my youth by building a box stock Sterling profile Mustang with a Fox 35 like I had in the 60's. It was a very enjoyable build and I love flying it as it brings back so many memories of how simple life use to be.
