Propping a Cox

I thought this was going to bee about the right prop for the right plane or something BUT i will play along >> I had never ran this engine and was beeing a pain holding the camera too  OK .049A <<  Then the Cox Monster   the end .. On you engine i would rebuild it and check /replace the gaskets /venture O-ring and possibly a new glow , after it started and removed the igniter RPMs went down and had erratic run also .

Eric, I could doctor the erratic run of my old red postage backplate reedies by replacing the hardened spraybar seal with a new one bought from Bernie, and adding a tight silicon tube and washer to the NV..since then these engines run like Schaffhausen clockwork




Refer to the amok run my Quickie100 performed on my video with such a red postage bacplate beast in its nose..

On your first video getback I can't believe you didn't try re-priming or clearing as well as hand propped that motor up.  I've a bit to learn.  Thanks for the tips Kris.

The fuel I used was about 15 years old, maybe it's time I got myself a new bottle.

Like i said i had never ran this engine , I picked it from a pile . It was only for an experiment with the mount that Jason had 3D printed ... I know it needs work and Thanks for the advice , right now its still apart on the bench were i took the mount off because of a break from tring to change the glow plug out . Yes the seal at the needle needs replacing , i have those . I got the engine flooded and its a real PIA to try and work with it with one hand and video too . So that's my excuse and i am sticking to it
