Cox .049 specs?

Nevadablue Sat Jan 07, 2017 6:38 pm

I did search and didn't find. I am looking for a spec sheet for the Cox .049 engine or at least a few thread sizes.

- tank mounting screws
- prop screw/stud
- glow head
- cylinder

Bore and stroke would be useful too.

Any help or links appreciated.
