Thanks for the info much appreciated I can get a prop quite easy here in the UK it's the rudder that's the problem I'll have to make one I guess it'll keep me busy for a while

Thanks I've just purchased it from a US auction so it'll probably take a month to get here it does need some restoration but I don't mind that I was trying to upload a picture to show you but it won't upload

Actually a 5x3 'tractor' prop installed backwards, early Water Wizards used white Kaysun props, late 50's Thimble-Drome.

Here's a couple photos I found on the internet that show the rudder shape and a bottom view of the hull.

Hi this is my new addition I think I might be quite rare due to the colour scheme it needs a new prop the engine was locked up it freed up quickly and it now spins freely with good compression it looks unused to me I need to make a new rudder which I will do later this week

She is a Nice one ! They only came in 2 color schemes rare ? either way 1956-59 production in that good of shape , oh yes ! Small Cox Logo

I have read the early ones were in red / yellow, yellow /red the they changed to red and black it does have a bit of staining to the hull which will not come off I've tried everything but overall a great display piece
