Status: offline 		Let's see here. I have:

1 OS Max-H .40
1 OS Max .40FP
1 OS Max .40LA (a moment of weakness)
1 OS Max .46FX
1 OS Max .61FX
1 OS Max .52FS
1 Fox .36
2 TT .07gp
1 TT .15gp
1 TT .25gp
1 TT .40Pro (Clearance sale)
2 TT .46Pro
1 TT .91FS
1 Magnum .25XL
1 Magnum .46XLS
1 Magnum .52FS
1 Enya .15III
1 Enya .19IV
1 Norvel .25
1 Norvel .061
and a bunch of 1/2 A cox's ( they multiply like rabbits)

The first two OS's, the Enya's, the Fox, and the Cox's were obtained 20 or so years ago. Have a few CL engines too, but don't count them, a TT .15 bought in Taiwan in 1967, an OS Max .35 bought in Turkey in 1976, and a Fox .25 and .35 Anniversary edition. I lost (misplaced, disappeared) a .35 Redhead in a Sterling Flying Fool from 1961 in Okinawa.
The others bought in last year or so. I have the OS Max .46FX in a Sig LT-40 I will be training on. The others are waiting for Planes after I solo.

    Status: offline     		Have any of you gone to this site?: [url]www.mecoa.com[/url] "Model Engine Company of America" For a list of old american engines go to: [url]www.mecoa.com/museum/archive1.html[/url] Engines listed are pre-1960 or just look around on their home page. EVERY known engine made is listed. They have a swap site listed at the bottom of their home page. Very interesting!

    Status: offline     		Lets see,

    I have

    1 O.S. .40 FSR
    1 O.S. .45 FSR
    1 O.S. .60 FSR
    2 O.S. .61 FSR

    (See a pattern yet?)

    1 O.S. 35
    1 O.S .30

    All running and except for 1 .61 fsr, all in planes on current flight status. That .61 is destined for my Ak Models MIG 29.

    Oh and a several electrics: 2 550's and a 370 in a slow stick.

    Non-running:

    1 K&B .40
    1 HB .40 PDP
    1 Old O.S. 30
    1 Fox 19
    Several Cox .049's

    Kinda small in numbers but works for me!

    Later!

    Status: online     		A bunch.....My newest two are a Cox Tee Dee .010, and DA-100. I few nights ago I was doing a comparison between the two, and the DA-100 has about 610 times the displacement of the tiny Cox. A somewhat accurate and rough calculation. I then further did a price comparison between the two engines. The DA is $1150.00 and the Cox's average price is $58.99. Since you need about 610 of the little Tee Dees' to equal the displacement of a DA-100, 100cc, 6.1 CI, you would have to spend $35,983.90 for Cox engines, making the once thought high price of a big gas twin the best deal going, and the fuel is cheaper, but props are not, but thats another topic.
