RR-1 + G-Mark .030 R/C
Does anybody know how many RR-1's COX produced? Couldn't find any production totals for any COX engines. I picked up these two engines at a swap meet.

RE: RR-1 + G-Mark .030 R/C
RR1 .049 (0.8 cm³)
Manufactured in 1957-1965 (#390)
At first glance, the RR1 looks like a fancy Golden Bee with small groves on the blue anodized tank and on the nose of the crankcase. The disassembly reveals the twin bypass cylinder and the rear rotary valve intake, which was used instead of the reed valve, typical for the Bee type engines. As you can see on the photo, there was no spring starter. Production ended in 1965 and later engine designs reverted again to the simpler and cheaper reed valve induction system.
During the first two years of production these engines came with a silver crankcase like the first sample shown (1957-1958). Later, the crankcase was anodized yellow which contrasts nicely with the dark blue tank.
Was build for 8 years so there is quite a few around, the Cannon G-Mark .030 was sold by Charlie's r/c in the 80's and is less common(I have one).

I don't know either but I missed out on a G mark .03 last night and that annoyed me.
The G mark is rarer but the RR1 more valuble.

The guy I bought the RR-1 from at the swap meet, bought it from another vendor for 15.00, JUST before I got to his table!! I offered him 40 which he wouldn't take, he finally took 50. I'm still holding out for that 68 Hemi Satellite (that you hear stories of people finding) for 800.00!!

I only have the .03, but they were also available as an .06, .12, .15, and .30. There were also twins in .12, .30, and possibly others. This is from memory and may not be entirely correct.
