The Cox CEF .010 Tee Dee

WingingIt74 Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:23 am

Yesterday I had a great idea about placing a wanted ad in the For Sale section to build a .010 from parts that I get only from members on this forum.

https://www.coxengineforum.com/t3063-wtb-010-parts

This topic is going to be my journal of how things are progressing along. The final product, I hope, is a running .010 with CEF engraved on both sides of the crank. I'm anxious to see this pull together and I hope you guys have as much fun with this as I will.

This is a list of part I have or have coming so far:

• Black Fuel Tank, Engine Mount and Screw set - dckrsn (Received Smile

)
• Piston, Cylinder, Needle Valve, Needle Valve Body & Crank - nitroairplane
• Prop and Needle Valve - Kim (Received Smile

)
• (2) Glow Plugs - microflitedude (Received Smile

)

Yo ! How 'bout a prop !!! Also, think I got and extra needle valve!

Got a needle and a crank but the crank is an odd colour.
Piston and cylinder also but they look a little dodgy!

I have a glowhead.

Seems like this project has stalled out. Anybody else have any parts laying around?

microflitedude Mon Sep 17, 2012 9:41 am

I thought you had the crank, piston, and cylinder?

I haven't heard back from Indra in awhile.

Go up-thread and you'll find our beloved moderator Nitro.

Well this project fizzled out. Those of you who I got parts from, please contact me if you would like them back.

Stay tuned, I may be cooking up a easier CEF project here soon.

Hey Travis,
Why not just let the project idle for a while.
Maybe a fresh post, and bump it every week or
two so it stays current. I had forgotten about it
till your latest post. Also, there are new members
who might be able to jump on board. You might even
stumble across the needed parts yourself. Unlike almost every
"reality" show there's no time limit.
I think your idea is a good one, and the longer it takes
to happen, can only add character to the engine.
My $.02.
