I just need to Know what he engine is, i'm fairly sure every thing is original except the firewall mount i think that's after market. Thanks for looking. Oh and the cylinder has 1 bypass port and no booster port.

Hello Balsa to Foam welcome to the forum Smile

You have to wait a little bit to post pics (think it's a week) from your mention of a single bypass cylinder sounds like a babe bee or product engine but without a pic i may be very wrong. Can you describe it for us we can help ya that way. Smile

sorry about that they came up on my computer but i didnt check others. anyway it has a red postage stamp back plate, extruded aluminum crank case with a babe bee style crank shaft with standard, not hex prop drive plate. the reed is original and is a copper-berillium star held in with a wire retaining clip. the needle valve isa lot like the killer bee's but has an extra knob below the tube atatchment point.
hope this helps:)
Oh and the cylinder has teedee exuahst ports

If your engine is as pictured then it was was likely pulled from a Cox RTF. The porting is probably dual and the exhaust cut outs, while like a TD, are just standard Cox.

The engine can be mounted to just about anything if an aftermarket mount is added. Carl Goldberg made a plastic mount for those and better yet we have a forum member here that makes an aluminum mount for that engine.

It's a good engine for what it is and I hope you can mount it on something and enjoy it.

Here's mine. I always thought it was a 290 Huh...

Not sure what would be the difference except that the 290 was sold as a separate engine and the 190 was a part of the RTF models.
