RE: 1/2a Spinners for Cox?

I have successfully used Carl Goldberg 1.5" spinners on Cox Tee Dee's - - I suspect any Cox 1/2A engine would accept them. They were a drop-in fit, too.

nitromethane & big props

One characteristic of nitromethane that gets lost in the tuning shuffle is that it burns very slowly. The amount of nitro in a fuel affects ignition timing, in effect retarding timing with increased...
