From description:
"John (Jack) McRoskey transferred ownership of this patent to the Wen-Mac Corporation - the model manufacturing company set up by Jack and his brother Len. (Adolph Wenland was also an early partner in the business, hence the name 'Wen-Mac'.) Wen-Mac was one of Cox Engines' many competitors in the field of .049 cu. in. engines and ready to fly plastic .049 control line planes."

That is a strange three leg mount on that engine.
Wen-Mac came up with many different designs during the period when these little engines were popular. The "Wing-Thing" comes to mind. It's all ABC through XYZ anymore. Kids stuck inside watching a screen never to know the joy of a propeller kick-back giving the knuckles a whack.
