Default THROTTLE FOR .049 ? also have NIB cox engines

Hi guys I want to build a throttled .049 , im sure I've seen a thread about it somewhere in the forum but cant find it.

It was a simple copper ring around engine head, there where some pictures of how to do it included.

Any of you knows who posted it ? or knows the link to it ?

Thanks.
Rafa

Rafa:

Take a look at this, this is a homemade copper version of the throttle sleeve, as long as I know exhaust restriction is the best way to control the throttle in a Cox engine, It works best on non SPI cylinders but I´ve been lucky also with SPI cylinders.

EDIT: several typos. ;-)

The ring needs to seal well, that's the only secret, otherwise you will not have any throttling effect....

Sorry I thought that would bring more than you even wanted to read...anyway the throttle ring is almost an on/off switch,,it goes from idle to wide open in about a 1/8" space...Rog

For $17 you can also get a new piston, cylinder and throttle ring together; [link=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cox-049-Airplane-Engine-RC-Cylinder-Set-Ring-Fits-TDs-/150447627617?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2307609d61]vintage glow engines[/link]

The video on that page also shows the operation if you prefer to make your own.

The cylinder and ring usually come as a pair, due to the high accuracy that is needed in the fit.
