Cox Babe Bee Gas Model Airplane Engine Control Line Free Flight 049 w Stunt Tank

Description

Cox Babe Bee Gas Model Airplane Engine Control Line Free Flight 049 with Stunt Tank
Classic 1/2 A engine.
This is the one that changed everything. Cox pretty much put the other small engine makers out of business for many years. The other companies just couldn’t compete with the lower manufacturing costs driven mainly by their crankcase machining efficiencies. It also helped that they were one of the best engines of their day.
Their piston and cylinder fits were consistently better than the completion too. Good enough that you could swap a new piston from one engine to a cylinder in another and still have a decent fit.
It killed the British small glow engine industry and eventually all the others too.
This engine has:
Been disassembled and thoroughly cleaned
Had the connecting rod socket reset
New gaskets installed
Reed replaced
Tank pickup tube replaced
Tank to back plate seal (Dacron Line)
Two bypass flutes – no boost ports
8cc Stunt tank (learn to fly inverted)
Sub piston induction
A good glow plug – test run
Excellent compression and fits
I test run all of these engines and guarantee that they will hand start easily (hot or cold) and run well if good fuel and a fresh battery are used. I leave the needle set on the lean side of four cycle to help the buyer with initial start-up. The fuel should have at least 20% nitromethane and 25% castor oil.
The photos are of the actual engine being offered.
No surprises!
The propeller used for test runs and a Cox wrench shown in the photos is included with the motor.
As usual rock bottom starting price, no reserve and economical shipping.
