COX ENGINE of the MONTH!
and have a chance to win a Black Lynx .049 Engine from Ex Model Engines!
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO
Rules: You may post *one (1) picture of an engine or a group of engines that are alike (for example: a collection of Space Bug Jr.s that feature each color tank). The engine must be a Cox engine, it can be stock or parts built. Cox engines using aftermarket or handmade parts and multi-cylinder engines are allowed as long as they feature Cox made crankcase(s) and cylinder(s). Although proof isn't required, engines that are built using aftermarket or handmade parts have to be able to run. A good example of a non-running homemade engine that wouldn't qualify for this contest is found HERE.
*You may post a 2nd picture as long as it is is showing another view or detail of the engine(s) being displayed in the first picture.
After 5 days, the first 10 pictures will be moved to another topic to be voted on by other members. The winner will have their engine displayed on the sidebar of the forum and forever listed on the past winners page.
Looking forward to see what you guys come up with! Good Luck!

Interesting concept. I wonder if one could do the same thing with a backplate engine to eliminate that bulky sure start throttle backplate for use on aircraft.

I bought this old Pee Wee months ago, with wrong prop ( 7" ) at $9.90 . I clean it and installed new overhaul kit. I touch-up the tank with pigment ink, I think its not fuel-proof though.

Cool, it looks like we have 10 pics! I'll get the poll going shortly.
Colouring engines

I have read plenty about anodizing engine parts but have never been game to give it a shot. Marker pen is fine for display engines, but as you say, doesn't handle fuel.
As for steel cylinders, I have had excellent results with "Tetra-gun" bluing liquid. I give it a light rub with steel wool, degrease it thoroughly and paint the fluid on with a small paint brush, leave stand for 10 minutes, rinse, dry and reapply until I have the desired effect. Some cylinders turn out beautifully, while others must have different properties (maybe carbon or lead content) and don't tend to colour so thoroughly or evenly. Cox cylinders generally work very well with the Tetra-gun product.

I've touched up cylinders and a Black Widow tank that way before. It looks good but it's only good for display.
