1976 COX product catalogue available in pdf
Just got hold of a 1976 COX product catalogue that is still missing here from CEF archives. I scanned it into a 19MB pdf file and sent an email to our Admin to check how I could transfer it for him to upload the 19MB size pdf on the Documents and Manuals page. So stay tuned, if you are interested.
I send its back page in advance below, because I noted an interesting fact: entire families scattered around the US were hired as COX distributors, look at the area Sales Team members in the Mountain states (Colorado, Arizona, Utah) and Far West and Pacific Northwest states ( California) where the Dillman family had their boys and father (Pete, Don, Dennis, Bill) all committed to COX. Many states apart!!
Just out of curiosity I checked whether Mr Dennis Dillman is still living in Colorado, namely in Littleton as in 1976, where an old colleague of mine happens to live at the beautiful foot of the Rockies, and low and behold, his name was returned by Google as a 70 years old gentleman...he must have been around 23 in 1976 when he joined the Colorado sales team...(I wish I had had that option myself ...)
Our COX world is worth a sociological study!

Thanks for that Andras. I will be looking for it.
My eye always go's to New England where both sides of my family are from traced back to the 1750's. Glad to see that President Adams is still alive and well. Prompted me to go to Amazon and buy the PBS miniseries about him aired several years ago and one I have never forgotten.

Wow Bob, do you happen to know this Mr John Adams as the New England COX sales rep who appears on the backside of this 1976 COX catalogue?

John Adams, could he also have been involved with the Adams magnetic actuators used in the Ace R/C Pulse Commander proportional single channel radios?

Probably Great grandson X4 Andras.
John Adams, popular name. The nations second president passed away on the fourth of July along with one other, Jefferson maybe.
Seriously, the best miniseries I have ever viewed, always intended to buy it. Thanks Andras for the prompt.

Thanks for the catalog

Levent I did the same...I sent a hand scribbled letter with my beginner's English in 1974 asking COX how I could buy a plane from them behind the Iron Curtain?
Much to my surprise they replied in an apologetic letter that ended they were hoping one day COX engines will be available for me...and sent their 1974 product cataloge and parts list..I still have the catalogues and the envelope but the nice letter with COX letterhead is lost. I still try to recall who may have signed that letter, maybe head of marketing and sales in Santa Ana..

Re: 1976 COX product catalogue available in pdf
Thank you Robert. Yes, COX could have dumped my letter sent from behind the Iron Curtain by a youth of no business potential whatsoever for them, but they elegantly responded to a commercially and geopolitically very distant would-be customer...
On your other note, I really wonder why COX did not advertise in their annual catalogues their stand-alone product engines like the red postage stamp 290 which I believe is one of the, if not THE sexyest reedie, let alone its shocking performance with the No1 cylinder..maybe because it's backplate without the Goldberg mount offered only limited use outside of the COX RTF planes?

Thanks to András, the 1976 Cox Product Catalog is now available to download: https://www.coxengineforum.com/h24-instruction-sheets#product_catalogs
Re: 1976 COX product catalogue available in pdf
I don't know why, András. I suspect it may have been a special order item, or a separate part number on an RTF parts list. I don't remember it listed in a Cox catalogue, although it may have been there. Didn't see it in the showcase of any US hobby store of the 1960"s - 1970's.
Doesn't mean it wasn't, just never saw it.
