Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, that's right, the silencer acts as a retention and reduces the engine's rpm, reducing its power by a percentage. The idea of using the silencer has its advantages and disadvantages, everything depends on the user's needs. Thanks again!
I remember purchasing my first cox .049 engine when l lived in the Bronx in 1956. I was 11 years old and paid $3.95 for it. What a thrill it was! It was bubble packed in a blue container and purchased the cox fuel with it. With my father's help ran it in my bedroom and mounted it to a board clamped in a vice attached to a chair. Boy was it loud! Back then most flew U control planes because we couldn't afford RC with tube radios.
Hello, your story is beautiful, thank you for leaving your message. It is a pleasure to read what you say, I imagine all that excitement when you were a very young boy. Thank you, I will soon upload a video with this engine installed in a model, Champion Citabria. Greetings!!
HOOow nice run! When I was young I also had a COX with a line control aircraft, so of course I continued with that hobby... you did great sir!... good luck with...
Very Nice Custom work!, and stunning low idle. I just picked up a Tatone #11611 .049-.051 muffler to try with my Cox International R/C throttle body Tee Dee setup. They say the Tatone works the best with a Throttle body with good low idle with Tee Dee stuff. The Old guy at the field said not to idle a .049 too low for too long or it will overheat. I hand mix my fuel which plays a big part. It's going on a lazer cut kit Q-Tee with custom ailerons. My 3rd Q-Tee with a .049. Still have the first one I bought. The 2nd one I bought decided he had enough one day and packed up and headed south, never to be seen again(radio lock). 3rd times a Charm?, and with more Love?. Hmm.
