Cox Recon Model

Oh wow, that's pretty interesting. Now I want to get both an EZ bee and a Recon to compare. I like the color scheme on the Recon. Always thought it would be neat to have a cox powered FPV plane. Assuming the engine is able to stay on, one could have a pretty long running FPV plane if one had a large fuel tank.

Well the difference is not as much as I imagined.
EZ bee has a 55” wing span, Recon is 41”
EZ bee fuse 4.25” tall vs Recon at 5”
If you remove the “RC camera” from the Recon there’s plenty of room to install a modern micro sized Rx and servos.




You would also have to install hinges and rudder/elevator to the stabilizers:



Search for some of Kim’s flight videos. He is a expert ( thru many experiences) at mounting video cameras utilizing sticks and scotch tape!!  FPV is the only way I could  fly a plane on RealFlight, so it would be awesome to try in a model.

Oh wow, thanks for taking the time to compare the two. This really is helpful in understanding the differences. When I talked to someone else on a different forum they told me it was just a repurposed EZ Bee. It clearly is much different. I think it would make a good RC conversion candidate. When I get my hands on one I'm definitely going to do the conversion. Maybe even put a small FPV camera in it to keep with the spirit of the Recon.
