Cox original fuel formulas
I recently joined a Facebook group "Control Line Enthusiasts" and saw these posted. My apologies if this is old news. I couldn't find any info here.. and thought it appropriate to share.

Hi Roddie, yeah we've posted those a few times here, Mark Boesen, me and others, but thanks anyhoo. It's interesting to see those old documents. I never knew Cox included a bit of Dow synthetic in the mix till I saw those. 18% castor and 2% Dow lube XA-1180-6. Probably way outclassed by modern additives now.

Re: Cox original fuel formulas
I think Joe posted those a couple years ago and they've traveled around the internet and back to here! I even see somebody is trying to sell them on eBay.

Yep, you can download them here! https://www.coxengineforum.com/h24-instruction-sheets#related_docs
Re: Cox original fuel formulas
It would be interesting to know where Cox originally obtained their castor oil.. being that they ordered thousands of gallons at a time. The synthetic element in their mix was stated to be labeled "Klotz KL-201". Sig's website references "Baker's AA" castor as being available separately.. but I thought that they used Klotz's "Benol" castor in their blended fuels? Is "Baker's AA" a Sig trademark? I couldn't find any info on it otherwise.
This makes me curious as to where Hobbico sources their ingredients for the newly re-formulated Cox Super fuel.

Re: Cox original fuel formulas
Your correct Mark. I got mine several years back from an former Cox RD guy in Bend Oregon along with a box of new Tee Dee .051 parts. I shared them on a couple of sites and have been selling them on EBay ever since to CEF non believers LOL.

Re: Cox original fuel formulas
BTW does anybody know what was the purpose of the 2% Dow additive? I Google the product code but could only find something close to the XA1180....which is used in 2-stroke motorcycle engines nowadays.

Re: Cox original fuel formulas
You're welcome. I wanted to post them in as many places I could think of before I started offering them to the masses.

Thanks Eric, I enjoy saving images of "Old Time" ads like the Baker's Castor one. They make interesting "wallpaper" for my laptop. I typically change my wallpaper every few days. Most of the images are small though. My all-time favorite Cox-related image, is the cover of their 1991 product catalog.
Mark Boesen generously emailed me this copy of the image.. after I reminisced of it in a thread awhile ago. I had misplaced my copy years ago.. but found it recently.
I really enjoy building in miniature "in general".. and have loved seeing "dioramas" and dollhouse-scale work since I was a kid.
Looking at the above image.. imagine building a back-drop hangar wall for displaying your favorite Cox-powered airplane; using a few random resized "ad-images" as wall-posters. Use any old piece of hardboard.. cut a "floor" piece and a "back-wall" piece. Paint the floor grey and the wall.. whatever color you want. The wall can be repainted to suit.. just remove the posters, re-paint.. and put up different ones if you want.
