$25 space bug!
Pretty sure I just picked up a space bug for $25 at the local hobby shop, having trouble posting photos from my iPhone. Primed the exhaust port and it kicked right over, haven't tried to run fuel through the tank yet. Very clean engine just a few tool marks on the tank. Any suggestions for an appropriate u/c model to build around this engine?

That would be an extraordinary buy as new ones in package routinely sell for $250 - $300.

Good find!
Wish they all went for $25......
Have fun! Not sure for U/C choices I am sure someone will chime in on that.

Re: $25 space bug!
I bought a small field box on ebay for under $20.00 . Wrenches/ glow clip, Spitzy .045/ BabeBee and wraped in rag a new Fox .049 missing tank. I just happen to have had an extra. Sold the Fox for $45.00 Another $35.00 for Spitzy and Babe Bee went on a Prop Rod.
Anyway the Space Bug will work on any B/Widow type plane but make room for intack. Stuntman 23/ Jumping bean/ Lil Satan most available from Brodak. Tank hold more fuel than B/Widow so mounting should be consideration. Good find. Plugs are not available.

Looks like the cylinder has been replaced with a stepped one. What # is on the cylinder? Any post 1955 .049/.051 head will work.
Re: $25 space bug!
Looks Ike the cylinder is stamped with a 2, definitely takes a standard glow head, no spi. Oh well, all the more reason to build it up as flyer!
