Cox Engine of The Month
Custom Lil Stinker

Custom Lil Stinker
I traded some stuff for a McCoy 29 RR red head and that started a friendship with a Mainer named Kurt. Young guy that likes Stunt, old cars and Cox models. While I built him a Red Baron and Lil Stinker out of my stash of junk I found a lot of NOS stuff and built a mostly NOS custom Lil Stinker for my wife, Laura.
She has always had a thing for Pitts Specials because they're tiny and usually well finished, and maybe because when we were first dating I was racing mine at the Reno Air Races...
Anyway, here is her custom Lil Stinker.

Re: Custom Lil Stinker
A quick look on-line and it's clear the red on red is pretty common. White UC on red is also common, but looks like the white fuse only had white legs.

Lil Stinker
No, ----- not perfect but should have all decals and decent condition with as much original equipment as possible.
Control line & handle and instructions is a + but not necessary and a box would be nice.This item is for a gift to someone special to me and not for resale.
Thanks for replying - Ricoman2

Re: Custom Lil Stinker
I thought Li'l Stinkers all came from factory with no anodizing on engine.

Ricoman and the Li'l Stinker
Thanks for the pictures, they were very helpful. This would be a good starter to put one together but I would rather pay more money
to get a little closer to being ready to gift it because I really don't have the resources to finish this one. The price I think is very fair.
I have just begun to look to see what is available, I will keep our conversations handy and the pictures and may get back with you on this.
Thanks for your time and effort to help me.- Ricoman2

This one has a red spinner..
This one is mine. Resto off eBay. I will take the white prop back off. The wings are too yellow and it looks odd. www.projectlilstinker.blogspot.com
