Post  Jim Howell Thu Aug 15, 2019 11:10 am

I am trying to find out about the relative performance of the many different named Cox .049 reedies.  I've searched this thread using "performance" as my search parameter.  I get a significant number of interesting threads about improving the performance of specific models, but am having difficulties trying to find relative comparisons of stock engines.  I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a place where this type of info might be available.  TIA.

Context for my question is that over the years, I have acquired a variety of different "named" versions.  Why, I haven't a clue other than nostalgia.  Some are 50+ year old engines - mostly gummed up - from my youth, some from friends getting out of the hobby, some from eBay, and some from current suppliers.  However, I'm getting slowly sucked back into small 1/2A C/L models from Black Hawk hollow logs, to Goldberg re-dos, to more modern designs.  While I could bypass my Cox hoard, I'd rather try to find some usage for my nostalgia hoard.  I have the following versions that I have listed in my perceived order of performance from lowest to highest:

Baby Bee
Golden Bee
Black Widow
Product Engine
Killer Bee
Venom

and something from CIE called a "Stinger" that I have no clue as to it's performance.  (I bought it 'cause the case had been anodized (?) to an orange color.    Smile )

Any insights, objective or subjective would be appreciated.

TIA,
Jim Howell

Thanks for the vector to Hepperle's site.  I did not know about that site.  I found a wealth of information there.  Thank you!

It mentions the other sizes as well. There is nothing on the product, Killer Bee or Venom variants.

Yes, I spent some time looking at the descriptions of a variety of Cox products. Yes, I noticed that nothing showed up on these variants. Sad Plus, I noticed that there was some discussion about the later Killer Bees being a step back from the earlier versions. Don't know which version I've got. Got to do some more investigation.

Thanks

All the crankcases are the same.  The biggest difference is the cylinders.  The single bypass cylinders are slower.  That would be the Babe Bee and Golden Bee, and I believe the Surestarts.  The twinport ones are faster with the squared off bypass ports better yet.  Some of the reedies have a different intake hole in the tank which can improve performance a bit too.  Maybe the BW Killers and Venoms are this.  Of course variations like high compression heads, piston fit/tapers, SPI and mufflers change results. Myself, I would never use the low compression heads, but if I can't find a twin port or TD cylinder, the single one is OK.  Many on this forum are more enlightened than me, but that is what I have found over 50 years.  The newer ones I have no idea as I got away from them in the 1990s pretty much.
