That model (P-51B?) was same as mine back in late 1960's, except it was the US military version in olive drab plastic. It was the remains of a vandalized Cox model that was missing box, accessories, elevator and rear fuselage bottom. Offered in a tent sale for a store, I think I paid $2 US total for it. I made a squared fuselage bottom and elevator out of 1/16" balsa sheet, used crinoline cloth hinges to restore it. Still have the postage stamp engine that came with it.


1960's Cox .049 postage stamp engine with new spinner & prop drive plate, and GB EB-1 engine mount added.

Wasn't it someone here who posted how to make a retro look alike battery that came with the RTF's, with art for color printing onto card stock?

Or, is Cameron's concerns are simply obtaining a starter battery for engine run-up, and/or possibly flying? Generic starter battery systems are available from both https://coxengines.ca/field-gear/ and http://www.exmodelengines.com/home.php?cat=259

NIB would go for stupid money





I found a yellow also, never seen one before. Double stupid money

This is another document that came with the model

Make sure you have the appropriate fuel as well.

This is just one that's available. There are other appropriate fuels as well.  Make sure it has 15%-25% nitro as well as castor oil, making up at least 20% oil or so.  You can just use a 1.5 vold "D" cell for starting.

The repo battery boxes are in Instruction sheets <<>> https://5dbfd882-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/coxengineforumfiles/Cox%20Battery%20Box%20early.png?attachauth=ANoY7cowun2UAqmIyjGtWOTSwQFZaR2_Eso_fr5k1FpMQ3vLSNbaiv-aqoC4Qepa0TCjoUwyHGDUcfLDLeri9XAgViswKB7xLU21Rvr7QO3Mr6E5EG2ZARgYxJZkE3f5lVg0ck6QAeZ6uiMY3b9kqJOGhMeRsQEyvFVZPAs1b6ytUD7NnsHJfFFzlUJz6gzpw0K7KeZqONcYGCssMCj8P7x_1lXDrIsYW4V9myvdSeiFB34HxwCs3nY%3D&attredirects=0
