TIEBREAKER-POLL **COX-ENGINE-OF-THE-MONTH** (June 2018)

Keep the votes coming!!!

Thanks Brad and a big thanks to all those who voted.

Weather permitting will start running the car this Sunday.

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

Congratulations to Davenz13 and his ".049 Bee"!



I'll have the picture up shortly and get the Ex Model Engines Black Lynx drawing underway.

Stunning photo of a gorgeous engine. Sucker punch!
Bravo, well earned.
Bob

Congrats on the win, Davenz13. Nice historic car you have there, no need to run it as I'd be more concerned with somehow damaging its pristine looks for its age.

Here's a more pertinent question.
What might you have the Black Lynx Venom clone targeted for?

Very cool pictures, both of them! Congrats Dave

Edit: Sincw it is already so late in June, I propose Dave's engine to be the July EOtM too

Thanks everybody for the nice comments. I just hope it all goes as well as it looks.

As for the Black Lynx clone George, I'd better wait and see if I'm lucky enough to win it before making plans for it.

But I do have plans for three new Bumble Bees and a spare shrike and alloy base. I'm thinking if I bend up another twin outrigger ( I have a spare template) and attached it to the alloy base I could have a three engined Shrike. The X3



That should give it a bit of lurch

Dave, my apologies, I misread the contest instructions, not realizing you won the first tier, there is a second yet future where 1 winner from all the monthly winners gets the prized Killer Bee clone (sorry, goofed Venom is the tanked version).

Actually, such a rule makes it even more fun. Although I had a hankering for the gorgeous speed demon Tee Dee competing against you, you do have an interesting prized relic from the 1950's. Until I saw the recent batch of photos of this earlier prop rod car version, didn't know that it even existed.

Speaking of speed, last night I won an interesting RC mini stick version called "The Twig" by Celerity Technical Design, in Oregon. Box says 31.5" (800mm), Plans say 26" (660mm) wingspan. (I think the ambiguity might be, if one is using the .020 Tee Dee, then build to plan; if a .09 or .10, add 2 wing rib panels.)



It's not a speed demon like Brad's, but will be a little monster fun flier, perhaps for that Medallion .049 I acquired recently.
