Please Identify Me
Hi all. So today I was out and about and picked up an orphan Cox engine. Sorry I did not take any before pictures as it is now in a bath of nitro, but the engine was surrounded by this cowl, and I am presuming it is from a Cox plane of some type. It is in overall very good condition, with the exception of a few little cracks on top as shown in the picture. They are honestly unseen, as I did not see them until I grabbed the cowl snugly to help remove the spinner. Anyways, if you can identify it, it would be greatly appreciated, and if you need it, please let me know as I have no use for it, and did not want to exactly throw it out. Another quick little thing I will mention about the motor is the starter. It is a spring starter like normal, BUT, the front engages into a weighted flywheel that is also part of the driveplate.

Re: Please Identify Me
As an fyi. I am applying pressure to the cowl just to raise the cracks for show in the picture.

Wow, you're good! I am a firm believer that you have 100% identified it.

Re: Please Identify Me
The only reason I kinda knew what it is was due to Kim exploded one and I was on the lookout for a new one for him. You may shoot him a PM and see if he needs it.

Re: Please Identify Me
Really beautiful...I only saw them in COX catalogues and never on e. g. eBay. Let alone in reality.

Re: Please Identify Me
This was the last plastic 'RTF' i owned as a kid, they didn't fly really well. Cox revised it ('73?) by relocating landing gear forward, leadout location and a brass hub only to drop it the following year.
You might throw that cowl on eBay, they're hard to come across as most got destroyed with nose-in landings...

Re: Please Identify Me
Yep...and they REALLY don't fly well if you're not capable of properly hooking up your lines!

Bill Falcks Rivets
One of the most successful 190 cubic inch racers . I watched it go in to Lake Erie back in 1977 in Cleveland Ohio . A really slick plane it looked fast just sitting on the ground .

I remember, Kim. That was a truly disappointing and infuriating way to crack up. Was yours Red and yellow? I thought I remembered differently, like light green. Could have been my medication Lol.

It was the standard Red and Yellow. It the one lap I had to evaluate it, the Rivets seemed more lively than the Super Sport I'd flown years ago, but I'd also traded out it's engine for a more souped up .049. Gonna put one of Bernie's Xtreme engines in it this next time.

Re: Please Identify Me
Ahh, there we go. That's why I associated light green with Rivets. Mistakenly so. Thanks, Eric.
It was haulin' ass pretty good there for a lap.
