Just when I thought I'd figured out all of my Killer Bee facts, I now find that early ones had a 128tpi NV. Till now, I had always believed that No KB ever had a fine thread NV ... Banging my head on the keyboard!

However, that detail really makes almost no difference unless you are feeding it pressurized fuel. On suction, it may make it slightly easier to adjust, but that's about all.

Yes less machine time to make the 2nd gen type, the fine thread version came from a first gen 051.
I will be doing a bench test with the Nelson plug and a stock Tornado 5x3. it's in good shape and
should yield similar results as a Cox 5x3 and expect to milk extra rpm with the fine thread needle
and another 500 ish rpm with the Nelson plug so the variance could be as much as 1k ish boost on
25% nitro. Standard hard tank no pressure.

yes, it is possible that my engine has a difference from the video, I suppose it must be the type of fuel and that my engine has some obstruction (even full gas), the acceleration ring.
I think finally in a beautiful copy of Killer Bee version II Thumbs Up

Yes he was using 25% nitro best sustained 18,540 rpm with a Cox grey 5x3
With yours and a throttle ring 17,880 is good for the Cox black 5x3 / how much nitro?

Fired it up on my lunch break for a quick check it is loud!
Think I can milk some more out of it will mess with it this weekend.

Tornado 5x3 / 25% nitro / nelson plug / 128 tpi.

Static: 21,883rpm / 13.75oz thrust / 62.1 mph / .141hp / 76.84w

Want to try the Cox yellow 4.5x4 for a bit more pitch speed.
Also the HQ Prop Carbon 4x4.5 for top end reed speed.

Yes 22k looks like the recommended max, thank you for the Greene's Very Happy
Gave you some on this thread too my friend Thumbs Up

I think I will try for 22.5k with the Carbon HQ Prop 4x4.5 and be happy.

thanks to you for such good information.
If I have seen many accessories and spare parts, but I am trying to get the contact of those who do the service of bringing things from the US, because here many things are held in customs for several months and others pass quickly, I hope to find the right way. My country is in a process of restructuring due to many problems of mismanagement Paranoid

I can buy the crank and send it to you if that will help?

Next test Cox 4.5x4
I have replaced the back plate to the 78 tpi threaded version to see if there is more
effort to set the NV and elevated the back plate to allow better airflow into the intake.
Should help to increase power perhaps another 10w or so.

Hey Brad, you're very kind to me and I value your gesture a lot. If you ever want to travel my country, just let me know, You will have food (and good) and my house to stay, I offer it from my heart! besides going to fly clear !!

I am waiting for a relatively important order of a few accessories, (April makes) that my contact bought them, but I still do not deliver them, I do not know whether it is a problem of it, or a problem in customs, he tells me that he is about to receive it, but it has been several months and I am still waiting.

Some time ago Mr. Matt was looking for testers of his vénturí and needle for Tee Dee 049/051, I offered and kindly agreed, he sent it directly to my address and arrived between 7 and 10 days! ... I asked in the mail and I was informed that just that, can happen that does not delay or that they have it retained for a long time in the customs.

I will wait another time and if I do not receive this order that I have pending, I will be testing with other people who (say) do the service.

In any case if I have no way I could think of bothering you, for this I ask you, You could receive money through Western Union ??

Regarding the Killer Bee, has the wood drilled in the back, just so you can take air without restrictions .... besides, I did different tests, put another needle (just to test), remove the regulating ring and also changed the level of the fuel tank, the engine still marching the same (17880/ 17950 rpm)

Thanks again, my friend...

Thank you Mauricio!

No need for Western Union I have just bought two of them you can have one!
With all the money you have invested, you deserve to enjoy the proper performance.
Should get another 1,100 rpm with the correct crankshaft my guess, will be a treat to see
the results.


Just PM me your address I will send it direct. Beer Cheers

Brief peak at 20,106 till it warmed up.
Best steady peak 19,622 but never maintained a steady peak for long although did
hit 19,622 multiple times so that's a good number.

Cox Yellow 4.5x4
Static 6.7oz thrust / 74.3 mph / .089hp / 66.4W

Mauricio lets hope this photo insures it happens!!!

Excellent Brad !!.
Regarding the video, very good, you have reached the limit with your bee! Congratulations!

Here only to have a parameter, I used a Black Widow engine with killer bee plate and high compression glow plug (it's my killer Bee) ... it turns out to give 17,040 rpm with Cox 5x3.

Yes the 1995 KB should make for a nice 90mph RC plane with a thin carbon 4.5x4

OK so your current Killer Bee configuration:
17880/ 17950 rpm

VS

Black Widow:
17.040 rpm

840 to 910 rpm more with the current KB, the flywheel should give you a good
jump in power for thrust or speed as needed.

OK so your current Killer Bee configuration:
17880/ 17950 rpm

VS

Black Widow:
17.040 rpm

840 to 910 rpm more with the current KB, the flywheel should give you a good
jump in power for thrust or speed as needed.

Very Happy Thumbs Up Beer Cheers Small Cox Logo

3rd test HQ Prop Carbon 4x4.5


Static 25,193 rpm / 107mph / 7.1oz thrust / .132hp / 98.47W


The carbon prop weight is half of the cox yellow prop and the blades do not
have a dull leading edge like the kid friendly cox prop, result is a big boost
in performance. Competition drone racing prop with a thick airfoil at the hub, I have
spun these up at 38k with no failures with a high performance car engine and tuned pipe.
Many many flights the rpm is so high thrust is fantastic.  

Leaner NV setting around 3.5 turns screamer but the unloaded rpm would exceed the
reed valves ability to maintain function. Est. 29k ish. The HQ 5x4.5 would be a good prop
for actual flying around 23.5k unloaded. 100mph + Reedie RC plane. The lighter carbon
mass and thinner airfoil will not tax the ball socket near as much insure long engine life
they have a high tolerance design in balance and shape to insure smooth rpm and tight
prop bolt fit for excellent centering.

Hi !, all this information is very valuable, make these experiences and show the results makes many interested parties cut way and do not err when buying one or other accessory, it is very different when you invest money, take your time, do the experiences and discards material .... so a tester is valuable even for those who sell material. I think Brad, that his contribution is very valuable for the forum and to highlight his accurate information, with genuine data.
First of all I thank you for sharing your experiences and congratulate you on the teaching and sharing of teaching.
I think in this forum there are very valuable people with a lot of knowledge, You are one of them! the forum in general should feel very happy to have members of this tenor!
A hug and thanks for all this precious data!

Thank you and happy to do Small Cox Logo

I plan to do one more test perhaps the most important one HQ 5x4.5 carbon prop which will
fit well with this engine providing fantastic thrust and speed for a reed valve engine.

If the data is good I would like to build a Speedy Reedy RC plane with a special firewall to
suit the reed engine's back plate for improved air intake. My goal is to have a good video
of a 100 mph + reed powered RC plane something that I have never seen yet. A custom
cut 4.5x5 will be good for top end speed.
