Cox Stinker / Stunter build ups.

Cox Stinker / Stunter build ups.
I have collected too many Cox Stinkers and Stunters and none are in pristine condition. As far as flying is concerned I decided to go from worst to less worse. So my first build ups are from the bags of broken parts that I have managed to collect.
The first Stunter is called "Chip". It features a patched Stinker top wing. A matching warped lower wing. Super glued broken right fuselage. Super glued horizontal stab. Super glued elevators, bell crank and canopy.
The engine is named "Gash" due to the badly marred crankcase and was rebuilt by EX.
If the test run goes well I will fix what shakes off and install lead outs for flying.
My second build up is a Super Stunter named "Deuce". Less broken parts and the more flexible green plastic makes me more confident in its structural integrity. Only the right fuselage half and the bell crank are repaired parts.
The wing struts were smashed. So they were cut away and the wings slotted for replacements cut from recycled plastic. They are friction fit into place.
The engine is "Red" and it was also rebuilt by EX.
I will add lead outs if the test runs go well.

A mix of old and new Sinkers
I had some fiasco flight attempts with my Cox Pitts Stinkers. Youtube is Project Lil Stinker. Anyway, my latest idea is to use the vintage wire landing gear and firewall. The wheels kept falling out of the plastic gear. And the ground I'm flying off is rough. Everything fit real well. Will follow with more pictures. My progress is on Youtube as listed above or Instagram Projectlilstinker. The blog is projectlilstinker.blogspot.com.
