Check out this "Cox Baby Bee 049 with Extra big Tank"!

nope, that one has a cusom made crank case, it just uses cox cylinders.

Oh my bad it would be interesting to try in the method you suggested.

its still pretty cool, but the guy who built it won't post any info about it. i think the channel has been abandoned.

It frustrates me so much when that happens.

yeah, the same happened with a popular channel named bomberguy, who had lots of great footage about
old airplanes- awesome stuff, but people always started flame wars about political issues and other sorts of crap, so he
first deactivated the comments sections and then left the channel for good. some videos contain probably the only footage left of
some of these planes, like the experimental german flying wing, the gothaer go-22. a frightening, but beautiful jet bober, who's
technology was highly advanced. when the americans found the production site, they were scared by these planes,
they were supposed to have stealth capabilitys, at least that's what i've heard.
whoops, got a little carried away, i guess

I remember him he had loads of black and White footage like that u control lancaster bomber.

I see two immediate problems: 1-You would probably break off the mounting lugs on that plastic backplate first time you flipped the prop, and 2-You would need a ****load of tail weight on the plane.

I think it would break in half as soon as you filled it up.

My idea of gluing the wings and tail right to the goofy thing would solve that. You could screw two of them back to back. It would be twice as long, and use the back one as a pusher.

You would need to separate them enough to allow for the air intakes, otherwise it would be like that old joke about the meanest animal in the world having an alligator head on one end and a crocodile head on the other.

The alligator crocodile would be an interesting push pull model imagine an rc version, if I ever get bored (it rarely happens) I will draw one up an many build a small scale electric version.

ain't that an engineering feat or what? it is a true non stunt tank, doesn't seem to be a texaco with the red removed...
i think its homemade

I'm not sure who gave you a "-" but it is actually not rare or homemade. I have a few of them. For some reason right now, i can't think of what engine that tank came on but I do know you could buy the plain 8cc kits.

if i delete that does the minus go?
I think they think i have to many "pluses"

I'm not sure. It really doesn't matter, you do have enough.

No I'm aiming for 200 lol.

Where do y'all see a minus?

You won't see It rusty I deleted it for a test and it did nothing.

huh, i just thought its a bit unusual...

I've almost accidentally clicked those, I bet that's what someone did.
