Did another company takeover the design and distribution? I'm stunned that there are still quite a few modelers who remember this engine. I converted one to glow (couldn't deal with ignition engines at age 9) and used it in several control line planes. Subsequently got a Fox 59.
I sent the engine back because I couldnt get it to run. It was 1947.
They sent it back with no note or anything. I still couldnt get it to run.
At the time I had experience with running several engines. I think it was about my 12th engine.
