I’ve seen a lot of you guys making a throttle sleeve as they don’t seem to for sale anywhere
I don’t have a lathe unfortunately how successful is.the beer can idea ?
Also has anyone fabricated a small fuel tank rather than the tiny one built on to the engine is like it to run for longer than 2mins if possible

Welcome.

There is a thread about making a tin can fuel tank making step by step, however I couldn't find it.

Beer can idea is very appreciated for making a simple throttle. You can try it. Andras made a successful one.

I am pretty sure Andras @balogh uses a ballon tank with his to get longer flights

Welcome CP!!

I have made and used the balloon fuel tank designed by Andras with excellent results…. I know he has also designed a very nice throttle for Cox engines…. I’m sure he will be glad to share those … Good luck with your project!!!…. Post some photos when you are able Thumbs Up
