Captain Blackhawk,

I have a confession to make.   Two years ago I purchased one of your 1/2A combat wings kits and split it with a friend of mine.   I built the kit and hated it!   The Baby Bee 049 wouldn't start, I cracked the wing using an electric starter, dropped it off a shelf and broke the wing again.   At this point I never got the darn thing in the air.   Then I figured out that my old Cox engines needed overhaul kits.   I rebuilt all of them.   I put my old rebuilt Golden Bee on the beat up and abused combat wing.   I borrowed my buddies electric 1/2A starter and got the Cox to scream like a banshee!   This past Sunday I flew the combat wing for the first time and was thrilled!   Man have I been missing out!   What a great model!   My buddy Scott "Woody" Woodham from Mandan, ND swears by your models.   Thank you for providing us retreads a chance to relieve or childhood hobbies!

Sincerely,
Shawn Kuntz
