Can`t find much info on its early use.

Mr G

I don't think it was installed in Cox products, just sold for modelers to use. It was their first beam mount engine.

The Space Hopper was used in FF models/ Speed. It replaced the Thermal Hopper. It came with a special plastic mount for radial mounting. Tatone made a metal mount for it. It can be beam mounted. Pre-made monut will be hard to find. You could use TD mount if you bolt on some extension to mount holes. Small Cox Logo

The Hayes BL09 is a TD 049/051 long mount: beams are about 2" long. I used one with my TD to help with a CG problem. Might have enough room for the Space Hopper's NVA.
