*Cox Engine of The Month* Submit your pictures! -August 2016-

Cox Tee Dee RC .05 - High Resolution

.

So often we see guys claim something is a prototype (often cause they don't really know what it is) almost to the point were we don't even pay attention to what it is as proto/prototype is so overused and has become meaningless, but for the record....this really IS a prototype and probably the rarest Cox engine on the face of the earth!!!!!!

Cox .15 "Dale Special"

COX DTTD 051...my oldest 051 so worn the exhaust throttle barrel has already ground its lowermost fin from the cylinder, but still reacts beautifully to the throttle action now that I have beefed it up with an RC carb too...

Recently acquired Golden Bee.

Cox Tee Dee 051 with custom glow head.

Bump!

Here is my NIB R/C Medallion.



If my calculations are correct, there is still room for one more picture!

This makes ten?

Tell us more!

Mark,

That yellow Cox Bee engine you posted there must have a mounting method almost as strange as the Testor's pipe bombs. All I can see to hang it from is that silver tubing thingy!

What plane did this one come off of?

Hopefully Mud will give us some more info...over the years he's had some of the coolest Cox stuff ever!

Mark,
Regarding rarity and prototypes and the rarest Cox engines, I have a Pee Wee .020 Sure Start with a large work number 2 etched on the side. It looks like a miniature Sure Start except that the back plate is white and the air tube is orange. There must be at least one more with work number 1 on the side. It came from the Cox R&D department.
I also have an early TD .049 with a brass ( non magnetic) cylinder with a work number 1 on the side of the cylinder.It came from a free flight guy in Corona, CA.
How about High Compression Texaco 5 fin heads that I got from Dan Sitter. They have small combustion chambers and the knurled ring on top... Maybe Mudhen or someone  else could shed more light on these items....
Wish I was more computer savvy to show some pics...Maybe soon......
Steve...
