    As a kid I loved Cox Airplanes and jumping into bigger and better balsa-wood planes. Cox had the market cornered, with Tester behind. Tester also made most of the hobby paint we bought. The Cox .49 Engine is legendary but they had several and I love picking them up when I see them. Here's a cool ad from 1979 Singapore. Most of these planes were early foam body, you can see the rubber bands holding on the wings.

    Sorry for the really crappy copy but one of the coolest from 1977, the Toshiba Parabola 2800

    Found on Twitter from 1974, this looks interesting, Mabuchi Electric Motor for model airplanes.
