Hi. I'm a total newbie to this forum (and RC flight in general.)

I built a .40 Cub from a kit that was a gift, but decided not to smash it up learning to fly, so I scratch built an electric L19 from plans in Model Airplane News that's had a couple of spectacular crashes, and is presently waiting on a nice calm day with a break in my schedule for the next go.

In my attic I found a Cox engine that I'd salvaged from a Cox Sky Copter free flight helicopter I used to own. Since I enjoy building - I want to put it in something. Anyone recognize this and know it's size?



The tiny little fuel tank was cracked, and I dremeled the pivot mount off the bottom, so it can now act as a firewall. The photo is the engine on a test stand. It fired up, but would not run more than a few seconds on some 15% fuel (I need to find a local source for 24%.)

Thanks,
-Bill
