A multi-tool and a Craftsman screwdriver tool kit.  That's basically all we need.

Your engine has eyes.  Enjoyed your video.

There is no way it is my video...while the guy may as well be a lecturing professor at the MIT, I would never treat a COX engine like that...

Is that an FAA violation if it exceeds 400' AGL?

I am not familiar with FAA rules...one thing is sure, my Toucan R/C driven by a TD051, with a small GPS on board, already reached altitudes of 1100 feet above ground (= 330m), if the telemetry function in my Futaba transmitter is functioning correctly..I rather heard than saw the plane at such an altitude and managed to land it safely...

If you want to see more of this behavior you can type in Flying Shop Rags (on youtube) to get a look at what an .010 looks like doing the same thing. Apparently this was what you did when your plane broke. Andy

I hate to admit it but it flew better than some of the planes I've built Embarassed

Almost made me wish that it would have flown around that silo and come back to bite his rear.

I have seen that of course. To me it looks like throwing the engine away with no control whatsoever on where and how it lands. A Free-flight airplane at least flies on a predictable path.

I have inadvertantly lost some engines/planes already and felt deeply depressed at the loss.

Yup i've seen the flying rags in fact I've seen one even better if not way more stupid. There were a couple of kids down my way a few months back that had stuck a BW on the end of what looked like a giant home made bottle rocket and were letting it go, it would fly a few hundred feet and would nose dive back to earth sticking into the ground. The would pull it out, clean it off then stick another prop on it and go again and this was between some houses btw they continued this until they got run off. This was quite dangerous no wonder people are beginning to get a negative opinion of RC and models in general these days..

I don't know.... Have you seen some of the Reed Speed test videos? Driving the engine into the ground under power is potentially going to do more damage than a stopped engine fluttering to the ground on a rag. Mind you, I was worried that it was going to smash straight into the side of a silo. Affraid or WOW!

Yeah it's stupid, but it's not like he is using a high end engine.

I love Babe Bees as much as the next guy, just keep in mind they made a crap ton of them.

There is a chap in the North of England who asked me for a Babe Bee with a three blade propeller. I spent quite a while cleaning and polishing it, replaced the gaskets and blacked the cylinder. I thought it strange has he wasn't and never has been an aeromodeller but I thought he had seen the light.

Two years later he asked me for a new cylinder head. I took it round to him and ....................

He was using it as a strimmer for trimming the grass at the edges of his lawn!!!!!!!

I was actually fantasizing watching the vid.. that the silo wall would blow-out; burying the guy in grain, with nothing but his flailing arm sticking-up out of the pile grasping the singing engine!

my bad... Devil (maybe it was the vise-grips that pushed me over the edge.. No )

Hahahaha I didn't see that one coming.
As for flying a rag, I'd do it. I'm going to do it. But I'd do it like Nightflyer. That's the name of the guy that did it probably first on Youtube. He's a serious modeler from way back, and flew the rags on .010s or .020s with only 8 or 10 seconds of gas in it.

I maybe too romantic but look at the old-stock stuff as relics of a golden era of aeromodeling. I think these critters deserve a fair treatment even if I am sometimes also abusing them though unintentionally.
