COX ENGINE of the MONTH!
and have a chance to win a Black Lynx .049 Engine from Ex Model Engines!
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO
Rules: You may post *one (1) picture of an engine or a group of engines that are alike (for example: a collection of Space Bug Jr.s that feature each color tank). The engine must be a Cox engine, it can be stock or parts built. Cox engines using aftermarket or handmade parts and multi-cylinder engines are allowed as long as they feature Cox made crankcase(s) and cylinder(s). Although proof isn't required, engines that are built using aftermarket or handmade parts have to be able to run. A good example of a non-running homemade engine that wouldn't qualify for this contest is found HERE. Disassembled engines are allowed as long as all parts are visible and the engine is in running condition when assembled.
If you are unsure if your picture qualifies, feel free to contact the administrator with questions.
* You may post multiple "pictures" as long as they are all joined together in one picture. (This is done in image editing software before uploading)
MAIN POINTS
•One picture
•Picture shall be of one engine or engines that are alike (a Babe Bee and a Tee Dee .049 together would NOT qualify)
•Must be a Cox Engine
•Engines using aftermarket or handmade parts must feature Cox made crankcase(s) and cylinder(s)
•Engine must be able to run
Optional Caption
Along with your picture you may include a caption that describes or explains the picture. The caption should include the name and displacement of the engine. The caption has to be short as if you picture wins, it will be posted under the picture in the sidebar. If you do not include a caption, one will be thought up for you.
After 5 days, the first 10 pictures will be moved to another topic to be voted on by other members. The winner will have their engine displayed on the sidebar of the forum and forever listed on the past winners page.
Looking forward to see what you guys come up with! Good Luck!
Special .15 MK. II and Special .15

So often we see guys claim something is a prototype (often cause they don't really know what it is) almost to the point were we don't even pay attention to what it is as proto/prototype is so overused and has become meaningless, but for the record....this really IS a prototype and probably the rarest Cox engine on the face of the earth!!!!!!

How does that one mount?
Mark,
That yellow Cox Bee engine you posted there must have a mounting method almost as strange as the Testor's pipe bombs. All I can see to hang it from is that silver tubing thingy!
What plane did this one come off of?

Hopefully Mud will give us some more info...over the years he's had some of the coolest Cox stuff ever!
RE: Cox engine of the month
Mark,
Regarding rarity and prototypes and the rarest Cox engines, I have a Pee Wee .020 Sure Start with a large work number 2 etched on the side. It looks like a miniature Sure Start except that the back plate is white and the air tube is orange. There must be at least one more with work number 1 on the side. It came from the Cox R&D department.
I also have an early TD .049 with a brass ( non magnetic) cylinder with a work number 1 on the side of the cylinder.It came from a free flight guy in Corona, CA.
How about High Compression Texaco 5 fin heads that I got from Dan Sitter. They have small combustion chambers and the knurled ring on top... Maybe Mudhen or someone else could shed more light on these items....
Wish I was more computer savvy to show some pics...Maybe soon......
Steve...
