Subject: Re: Engine -- Frog 500


Hi

Idid not post it. I am still learning the system.

I picked the engine up about 1958 in NC.

I have no idea who the manufacturer is.

It appears to be about a size 20 engine.

XXXX
==================

Anyone have any idea? That was before I started RC... actually about 43 before I started RC. :-)

They produced a quite nice 15 diesel, the FROG 249 (2.49cc) in the late 50s with ballrace mounted shaft but it was never as popular as the ED Racer 246 or as powerful as the Oliver Tiger .... ahh those were the days, the smell of ether in the air and burnt Castrol R!!
