Yep. My first airplane was just a cheap plastic coated colorful cardboard thing with zero airfoil and fairly large control surfaces. It had a little .Cox 049 engine and it "flew" just fine. Much like a paper airplane with power. The strings were pretty short and I would get dizzy as hell if I filled up the fuel tank. If I flew in a open field that had not been mowed when I crashed the grass would absorb much of the impact and I had no damage. (Insert geezer voice) Why back in my day we had no electronic games or gadgets, and only a black and white TV with three channels! We had to go outside and play.
