Throw it in what tank? And what made the parts clean? And what kind of tank did you use? And what are the names of the freaking pieces of the engine? How about a little explanation?
Hi Terry thanks for bringing that to my attention try seller search 2011bartender4733 for now and let me know eBay list there New listings at the top of their search engine I end up getting further down the list will work on putting a link here thanks again,john
Very cool ... I found a 1970 testars fly'em p51 mustang.... I know nothing about them but it's so cool I want to rebuild the motor but it's probably beyond help .... Any thoughts or ideas??? Maybe a new one??? Thanks 👍
Great job you two!!! Won Mouse Race back in the 70's with a Ringmaster solid wing doped in silk almost indestructible and taught a few kid to fly!! Great Times Thanks you two again!
This brought a smile to my face! I spent many an afternoon in my teenage years flying Cox .049 planes. Cox .049 was the engine I loved to hate because I had no electric starter and you could sit there flipping the prop at times until the cows came home and not get it to start.
I have a question. I have a .049 motor that seems to be locked up … just from sitting around a long time. If I take apart and clean it real good… do you think it would be alright or am I wasting my time since it’s locked up? My Dad use to run these with me when I was a boy. I found all of his old stuff and wanted to show my little girl how it works. All the motors are stuck though. Should I soak them in oil or something? I loved the hobby myself!!
There's a couple of tricks I use , a parts cleaner from AutoZone comes in a paint can with a dipping tray, working them lose with some PB blaster work's good. If you have a old crockpot put some straight antifreeze in it and let the parts simmer, make sure you remove any plastic parts from the engine first , once you get the piston loose and it has good compression should be good 👍 I've brought some back that should have been paper weights John
I learned to fly with a Baby Ringmaster over 50 years ago. Graduated to a Jr Ringmaster, and eventually had a Regular Ringmaster. Fond memories of flying with my dad.
Thanks my dad gave me my first Fox 35 on my 15th birthday I still have it always brings back great memories when I put that handle in my hand like going back in Time I've since passed the hobby to my daughter 😁
@@johnhughes6397 love it! I've started trying to get a little fleet together for my 4 daughters to learn with..got a couple Coloplast flying wing trainers and a baby ringmaster all cox powered..can't wait for spring!
The almost constant climb and dive was making me motion sick, and I flew U control for about 20 years. I started with the Cox PT-19 Baby Bee .049, loved it.
Thanks , I've been working on more model's try to get them listed on my eBay store soon at Hughes Model's made a few improvements since I posted these videos
Keep trying...sooner or later you'll hit the ground! i felt more like a number 4 wood screw my first flights back after thirty plus years away. Now I like it more than RC.
@@johnhughes6397 Once I remembered the rule of not watching the background and watching just the plane I was fine, but those first few weeks, I almost gave it all up and went back to RC. I just made my first flight this year, with more than a year's layoff because of a move from sunny California to Eastern Kentucky, and no problem getting dizzy, just not fully ready to cut it all loose and fly the full pattern yet, it will happen sooner than later. I like CL because the FAA can't figure out how to regulate something that is lower in altitude than telephone poles!
@@johnhughes6397 I was given a Banshee kit from an RC friend. I built it, modified it for a shorter nose, since I was going to use a 40. Changed wing construction when I found ribs all different, and put a nice finish on it. I flew it for about two years, first contest in advanced, first flight fine, second flight ended when the ground came up and claimed it out of the vertical eight, My death pile out in the back yard was pretty extensive with crashed airplanes learning the pattern. I have a Brodak FW-1909, greatly modified, used a Chizzler wing, bigger stab, made thicker rudder/fin and gave it scale paint scheme. It flies nice but not enough flights on it yet to tell. It appears to be a better plane than the pilot for now. I'm hoping to get more flights in this summer, move into a house, start building again.
@@johnhughes6397 Your models all have a great finish. You obviously have some serious experience in this area. I got some papilio, haven't used yet. The kit comes with a special soaking solution and a clear coat bottle. So you can just use store-bought Clear Coat Acrylic, how long do you let it sit after the spray? And just a small amount of dish soap to release the decal? This is great! The wizard of decals.
Okay I think I know what you're asking I replaced the old prop back plate with a new hexagon back plate press it in to the crank shaft to accommodate Cox new spring starter's the old system was just a spring that eventually dug into the propellers the hex nut and plastic cam eliminates that problem
@@johnhughes6397 cool I will have to take a look. I am hoping to find a multi cylinder for a tether car build. Price has been my biggest problem along with finding the smaller scaled examples seem to pop up every once in a while....
At around 4:08" of the video you show a tool that seems to do what I am looking for - what is the name of that tool and maybe you can describe briefly how to use it ?? Thank you again.
I bought that little tool from Cox International in Canada. Its a threaded to to the crankshaft and the other part threads on top and you just whack it with a hammer. And loosen and post crankshaft right out any nut and bolt will do the same
Do you have a video on how to remove the crankshaft from a Cox 049 engine ? I need to replace a crankshaft on one of my Cox engines and I don't want to damage it. I have removed the front screw that threads inside the crankshaft - but the prop driver seems to be holding the crankshaft .. so what's the best way to remove it ? Thank you for your time.
