I just received an ebay purchase (a TD 09) from UK and it took about 30days to get here (sweden). To go overseas may well take even longer...

Yes Kris that is what I am thinking as I have had problems with 4 items sent these past months.

Hi Rusty,

Those backplates came as a complete item. 128 tpi needle assembly installed

in a backplate with the intake opened to about 5/32'.

I got a couple from the late Joe Klause some 30 years ago.

A year or two ago I bought two .020 plates with the same valve from

Darrin Albert. Your best bet may be to contact him through Ebay. http://myworld.ebay.com/combatalbert

I also have a black plastic plate with the fine thread valve installed. No idea where that

one came from.

Hey Guys! I'm still waiting for Indra's engine...but have received TWO others! One, from Matt that I was expecting, PLUS another from Paul Wescott that was mailed on Jan 3rd !

I'd intended the photo album to be a sort of "head count" but maybe an additional typed list is in order (like I said before -I'm making this up as I go!).

Here are the entries I've received so far:

1. Bernie & Xena Cox International

2. Mark Boesen Yahoo .049 Collectors Group

3. Bob Dickerson

4. Ron Cribbs

5. Douglas Veasey

6. Sotiris Reizis Greece

7. Mudhen

8. Paul Gibeault

9. Microflitedude

10. Matt from Ex Model Engines

11. Paul Wsscott

If I've missed one I've listed before, please shoot me a note...I'm at work and can't do a physical count at the moment...but FOR SURE have these on my table.

microflitedude Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:40 pm

Any casualties yet? lol!

mr_cox Sun Jan 15, 2012 2:09 am

I think Kim ran off with all the engines, but yeah, you cant blame him on that. Wink

I'm looking forward to the results!

Kim Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:27 am

Hey Guys,

My schedule loosened up just enough for me to start getting some engines on their way home today !

Microflitedude, cribs74, and dkrsn...your engines are on their way! PLEASE notify me as soon as you get them so I can chill-out !!!

Thanks ! Kim

**Cribbs74** Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:48 pm

I'll give you a shout when the package arrives. Can't wait to get a hold of that sure start, never seen one in person before. I might turn it into a screamer for next years tach race. Next time though I am going all out in the unlimited class. Thanks again Kim!

Thanks Micro !

Engines came today Kim, you ran a great race.
Thank you, Doug

werida Wed Jan 25, 2012 1:26 pm

Hi Kim,

Do you need more information from me and compensation for shipping the pink engine?

Looking forward to see the engine Very Happy

Greetings, Eline

Kim Wed Jan 25, 2012 7:07 pm

Thanks Doug !

Hey Eline,

I've got Bastiaan's mailing address and was gonna send it to him, but if you'd like it sent to your address, I can do that too. I should be getting it out this coming week.

I'm not sure what the shipping will be, but shouldn't be much with such a small package. I can let you know as soon as I get it going.

Later ! Kim

Mudhen Thu Jan 26, 2012 7:35 am

werida Thu Jan 26, 2012 8:22 am

Hi Kim,

I think it would be easier to send it to Bastiaan
Will you write his name on the package as well to make sure that it comes to the right adress?

Greetings, Eline

Paulgibeault Mon Jan 30, 2012 11:25 pm

HI Kim,

My engine came back today. Thank you for taking such excellent care in oiling the engines
& in packing them. THANKS also to Cox International for the donated prize engine & props!

Cheers, Paul

Kim Wed Feb 01, 2012 12:10 pm

Hey Paul,

Thanks for checking in, and you're welcome...it was lots of fun running these little engines !

Eline received the engine last week. She is very happy with it! Thank you Kim.

Today we had some time to fire it up! It is a real screamer. It is the fastest engine I ever started.

This was the first run with an 6x3 Prop:

The second run equipped with an 5x3 prop (the free yellow one from Bernie).

Hope to post a vid with her flying the engine soon!

nitroairplane Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:53 pm

Awesome guys!
Glad to see you guys are enjoying it.

mr_cox Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:55 pm

Did you notice me wearing Eline's matching pink slippers. Embarassed
