Hot off the mail truck - Running a Throttled Wen Mac VII

Looking at your pictures gave me the impetus to dig out what I think is an old Wen Mac 049. However, it is stamped McCoy on one side and Testors on the other. It’s soaking now. I remember as a young teen that my flying buddies and myself never really got a Wen Mac airplane to fly. What is a miracle is just how easy it is for a kid to get a Cox to run, and the same thing with the Fox 35. I remember spending days with worn out McCoy Redhead 35’s trying to get them to run. Saving up and buying a new Fox 35 Stunt was a life changing event. It actually started and ran. I remember reading articles that Duke Fox did specific things to make them work for kids. Such as glow plugs that work down to 1.2VDC because batteries are expensive. The cylinder sleeve were made with leaded steel that would survive lean hot runs and still work once they cooled down.

Bob , have you try and run the Wen Mac anymore ? Were you starting in on WO throttle ?
