I have a line on a complete NIB one, but I think the rubber part was all he was looking for.

Thanks to Dr. Martin Hepperle For the following Quotation

RC Bee .049 (0.8 cm³)

Manufactured in 1979 (#360)

This engine resembles the later Dragonfly, but has an unusual cast crankcase. The red «clunker» tank is smaller than that of the Dragonfly and the muffler ring is completely covered by a soft rubber ring. The complete muffler assembly can be rotated by an R/C servo for throttle control. The exhaust ports are double slotted and I assume, that these narrow slots together with the rubber lip did not really make the engine a top performer. Machining the cast crankcase proved to be difficult and expensive. For that reason later engine developments went back to the standard stock bar design.
