Mark or a Comet collector,
Comet called the Comet Fox .07 the Super-powered Comet Gas Engine. Then the OK .059 was used. I think Comet called it an .06, but what actual name did they use? A picture of the Box Sticker would be nice.

I don't think Comet really changed the name "Super-Powered" from one to the other, I have noticed different labels (it looks like, but not 100 sure) Comet used the square decal for the .07 and a more rectangle one with the later reed Cub. Also they seem to post different displacements for the .058, .059, .060 "Reedie" engine?
This is from the F-51
The last "Push Button" again notice the later Super-Power decal

yeah!!!!
Had you ever had anybody say or tell you that Atwood did the reed Design for the Cub? I know its hearsay, but it's kinda interesting.
A well know FF guy, told me Atwood, told him over dinner that he did and it kinda makes sense as who at Herkimer could of designed a reed induction system in '60-'61?

Re: What did Comet call the OK .059-.060 engine?
I just did the dumbest thing one could do to my .07. It's actually my dad's engine. I forced it over and broke the piston with the rod. It punched right through the top. Seeing the cost of a new one there makes me even sicker. I know the engine Duke had retrieved had a very crude backplate which is what mine has indication a backplate cut from the old tank mount. I would like to get this engine running again if anyone could help. Ken

I never heard that, but it is interesting. Must have been just before Cox hired Bill Atwood to design the .010.
