RE: no more cox engines???!!!???
I fondly remember messing with cox engines years ago. They were a lot of fun and I'm sure still are for many guys. Unfortunately the arguement between Norvel and Cox isn't nearly as significant as the threat of electrics. This is what will be the demise of Cox eventually if anything. I would never in present day touch a Cox engine. The only folks who do are the ones who either can't afford the electric gear (kids for example) or ones who just plain like fiddling with their Cox engines more than they like flying! Just kidding on the second part but you have to admit they are tempermental. Once brushless electrics and Lipo's get a bit cheaper, the only reason to play with a Cox engine will be nostalgia (or maybe you miss that ear piercing noise and a slimy airplane).
No offense to the Cox lovers, just suggesting that if you enjoy them, you should slowly stock up on them while they are available. Good luck.
