I need a little help. I know it is a Cox engine, but I am not sure of the size. The only writing on it is "made in the USA" on the back of the tank.



Thanks
Andrew

TAKE THAT ENGINE OUT OF THAT VISE!!!

Now, please attach it to a piece of plywood using four screws through the four eyelets on the backplate. Then, you can clamp the plywood in the vise if you must.

I just got a PAW diesel and the instructions say do not put the crankcase in a vice. I thought DAH! Who would do that! Now I know.[]

I'd say it's seriously underpowered, that vise will never get off the ground with just a Black Widow maybe a TD?!

Black Widow 049. Ok thank you.
Yea, a vice not the best. A bad move on my part.


Thanks,
Andrew

Any 1 who would put a cox in a vice would also strip wire with a fingernail clipper.

Hey! I might resemble that remark. And I've only had three electrical fires in my MGB

I don't intend to fly this little thing. Besides it will not fit in my test/break in stand. I just wanted to know what size it was.

Yeah, you'd better not fly it. It's a slippery slope and before long you'd find yourself with half a dozen 1/2A models.

That does not sound all that bad.

Do a search in this forum for a plane called DNU. It'd be perfect for that engine.

If the one I found is right, cool looking plane. I just might have to build one. I do have plans for a Shoe String and a Mini Bell that it might look good on. Maybe on day
