And here is the promised Cox engine operating guide

great! i lost most of my engine instruction sheets over the years. the last one i knew of was in the bottom of my model storage bin, the bin had about an 8th inch of oil standing on the bottom of it so when i went to pull it out of it the thing just fell apart.

what engines do you have?

a few black widows, a golden bee, a few babe bees, a pre estes killer bee, some td 049s a td 051, td 09, a few pee wees medallion 049 bronco bike engine , ruined space bug jr.

every few times when I would goto a hobby store as a kid, i would have to get a new engine to play with, trying to find which one would better suit my plane. i ended up having over 20 cox engines. in those days you could just throw it away if you messed it up enough. i wasnt one to throw away anything, i would even take the broken worn out parts from other modelers who were going to throw it away. i filled 3 5 gallon buckets that way and awhile ago I sold grab bags of those parts. i believe i even had some rr1 parts although i wasnt old enough to be around for the rr1 i believe i was only 4-8 years old then. people don't understand that a babe bee for 5.99 was actually alot back in the 70s, that equals to be about $20 today so suck it up people. I remember down at the club we used to buy cards of babe bees, there was 6 babe bees on one wall hanging card, you would just walk up and rip one off. that sheet of babe bees would cost about $36 each and we would sell them for about 5.99 in the clubhouse, came in handy when your engine wouldnt start and you were a good 20 miles away from home.

Didn't you already have this sheet on your site? Without the pictures?

It was on our site in a more basic form and not downloadable as a PDF file. We have expanded a bit, added some exploded views of the engines and formatted it into a 2-page PDF format.
