In the control line trainer Cox PT-19 Classic C/L Trainer 22.5" there is a .049 cox engine included, for $ 29.99 ? Is it a normal cox engine ? I mean it sounds good, 30 bucks for a "plane" and a cow engine. Can you get the engine out of there, has anybody ever tried this?

bye bye

The engine is the Cox Sure Start. They run real well. Yes they come right out.

Later,

Pretty easy to get out after a couple of flights[>:]

and considering the glow head sells for almost $10 it sounds like a deal!

And you can replace the Cox head with a Norvel or Galbraith (uses Nelson plug) if you go through a lot of plugs.

On the nicer side, it is a double bypass.(I've got one) If I was looking for just an engine, the blackwidow only cost about six bucks more and has the tank. The tank on the pt-19 is part of the plane. I used it to convert a 540 electric glider and it worked very well. And if all you have sitting around is a 4oz tank...don't let a friend fuel it up for you! He laughed for about an hour before I finally turned it into a lawn dart.
Never flew the pt-19 though. Not sure why

that sounds good to me thx for the reply guys, but there is one question left;
Has anybody ever tried to built a radio in there? would it work?

I don't think it would work very well Not enough room, it's simply not designed for it. Plus the rudder is turned hard to the right(?). The main reason is the severe lack of wing area. A more appropriate engine for an r/c airplane of that size is the peewee 020 or td 010. But that's based on a three year old memory of an airplane I never flew.
