Roy Cox Thimble Drome Champion/Cameron tether car. Happy with this one X2
Goodness. 21 bids ending at 3am. Made my usual one-time proxy bid and went to bed thinking no more about it. Got up this morning and found I had won them for $427. Cheap if you follow these.
Seller, 70 years old got them "from a family member and knows nothing about them", thinks he's old at 70 and still has a land-line blah, blah, blah. I had contacted him about the engine and it's missing needle.
Finally gives me a Cameron engine that I can tear into.
The restored one I just got is nice, well constructed and heavy as a rock, but it's just a looker. The FedEx .045 is supposed to be delivered today.

Yeah, thought of that. I'm running out of places to stuff stuff.
But, your's/ours tri-motors are not going anyplace. I'm blown away by these things always updating them. Can't have mis-matched spinners.
I would need two more Texaco engines to really match them up. Edit add: ebay magic. Make that none, found two one from Julian NC.........hmm
Got the SIG balsa to make a flyable version, but have the new P-38 and the Brodak Wildcat ahead of them.

I like odd hour ending, less snipers. The .09 was a lapped piston, no cylinder liner. The .15 had a cylinder liner and smaller head. The .19 has cylinder liner and larger head.
I think this is the needle from Mecoa on eBay but don't have one to be sure.

Thanks David.
And CB I bought one referanced from a prior thread of your's.
I know nothing about these, but I think this one is an .09? I have heard about a .19 (.119?). Hadn't heard about the .15. Not much about these on the internet. Oval piston? Ringed piston? I looked here under "instructions" but found nothing about the Cameron, just the .045 which has been delayed until tomorrow.
This one I can see has slotted head bolts, restored one I have has phillips.
Yellow CB, I'm just trying to keep up with you. Seller says it's a .19, wondering how he would know.
Seller of the blue restored one says it's a .119. Curious.

Your blue #5 has a .19 head, the yellow has a different head. On .15 and .19 you can look in exhaust port and see the slotted liner.
The .09 you can see no slotted liner.

That Cameron engine must have a long stroke. That's the smallest .19 head that I have seen.
