Nice! The only bad thing we've found about these kits is....they almost go together too fast!

I need to use two of their covering packs for my plane, one for the fuse and one for the wing. I would think it's the same for all of his designs but I don't know what the SS 250 uses so I can't be sure. I would ask @Willy Nillies to see what he says...
Covering is so cheap I ordered twice as much as the kit calls for, but I can always use the leftovers on the next one!

A little inspiration from a recently completed GLH 250 in California....
Wow, that's a heck of a nice landing strip!

Love seeing a Cox glow engine running full throttle until the fuel runs out. Brought back some memories. Those GLH get real small real fast!
Those GLH get real small real fast!I visited the Orange County Modelers Association flying field last October. My jaw dropped when I saw their field and strip. Some of those CA clubs have money to burn.

In my boneyard, found our old GLH that we used in the late 70's to testout the TD's performance after I reseated the ball. Since we raced pylon,and the planes were all the same, it really depended on the engine and prop. Prop was a 5D-3P and so after each weekend race, every time meant taking it apart, re-seat it and then flight check. And it really would Go Like H--l. More than once, I had to dis-assemble and redo..
My son got a Christmas gift from Cox/Sanwa which included a 6 channel radio and 3 TD 049's since he was an excellant pilot who won a lot of races.
Not bad for sitting around for about 40 years.
Will run it this spring.

Full speed till fuel runs out. That could get interesting!

That's the only reason I never got into flying R/C with Cox/Testors etc 1/2A engines even though I've owned many in the past. The "throttled" versions were less than what I would call having a controlled RPM. I'll never argue with a full on 1/2A pilot though. They're pretty gung ho about these engines. I fully respect that. They're jut not for me. Heck, even though I'll never own another glow engine I actually miss the smell of glow fuel. I don't miss the cost, the mess and the clean up though. You know if there was a VERY low cost, VERY lightweight .049 sound generator I'd probably put a few in some planes just because.

YeeHaw! Looking forward to your completion.
Looks like the Eaglet 250's may be shipping soon. Can't wait for mine!
Merry Christmas to you as well!

If you have ever had a hot TD .049 in a GLH it was one of your best memory's. Chuck it into to the air and hang on. 3 mins of sheer enjoyment and knee knocken fun. You had no choice but to wait for its fuel supply to run out and keep in competition or flight. If you had it tuned right you could take it vertical and to lean out the motor and land in a proper manor, Great airplane the GLH you will love it if you can keep up with it.

Cool, What kind of scheme do you plan on doing for the Eaglet?
