The Unknown engine (thinks it a cox)
I have an engine that i got when I picked up a load of R/C and im not sure what it is. I dont ever plan on building an aircraft that small but I would love to get it running. Any help would be great.
Here are some pics.

Yup.. it's a version of the Babe Bee. Early model crankcase noted by the thin tapered front end and thin wall most likely single by-pass cylinder. But the good thing is it is sporting a non stunt 8cc tank. Again most likely built up from some spare parts.

Cox Engine
I believe you have a Super Bee. These were product engines used on the P-40, Spitfire, and Stuka plastic ready to fly models in the late 60's and early 70's. If you check the bypass you should see it has 2. The piston bottom should be visible through the exhaust ports when the piston is at top dead center. These were high performance product engines because the plastic models were heavy.
Screens on the backplate were an on again off again item, used when the warehouse had them in stock and there was time to put them on before a production run!
