March Engine of the month submissions, post them here!

Okay, here is my very first cox engine (I still have it). I had saved up my weakly allowance but unluckily ended up with an engine that had a machining mistake on the tank. The front wall of the tank was made paper-thin, had cracked, and it would never run right until I made a few modifications...

Wow. I really like the muffler on that.

SK,

What type of solder did you use to fill in the mounting lugs?

I want to fix some pee wee backplates.

So why did Joe post a picture of Kim's engine?

Good question! Maybe Joe sent his Queen Bee to the "Skunk Works" for some R&D.

That's not Kim's engine. It's mine. He did a test run for me when I broke my hand. I just had to see it run. It's a Tee Dee .049.

Well I was half right, I should have looked at the pic a little closer. Doh!

I haven't touch the mounting lugs, I guess the anodizing has simply worn off in the holes during running.

Oh, ok. They look filled in the picture. My mistake.

How long will the entry run?

...yep, me too, I quit!

All the other members that drink 15 pints of Guinness, whilst hanging upsidedown listening to Judas Preist played backwards
will no doubt already be aware of the following but just in case ,-

In 1945 Leroy Cox was approached by the US Government to set up a secret laboratory researching new technology.
He had the idea to create a toy making concern to hide what he was really up to.
Fortunately for us his 'sideline' was fairly successful too.
Without going in to too much detail (obviously this is all still classified) I'll tell you about one (or two) ideas he came up with.
Those of you who enjoy puzzles and languages will of course have long realized that Leroy M Cox Maunfacturing Co Inc when
translated into Serbo Croat then Chinese forms an anagram of 'I'm Dr Emmet Brown I'll be back from the future sometime'.
Also have non of you marvelled at the fact LMC dissappeared (sorry 'died') just 6 months after the first F117 Stealth flight?
Whilst working on stealth he constructed several models of the proposed craft and obviously he needed an engine to
power the thing. Enter the Cox FluxBeeCapteeacitordee/kingsnuclothespecial.
Early in development they could be seen by 'brighter' people but not by the masses.

The good news is twofold,-
1, LMC is going to return, a bit like the second coming only with more new model engines.
and
2, I can't fail to win this months EoTM.....

If there are any sceptics remaing among you check out the irrefutable proof below....


Obviously only those with high levels of intelligence might see the thing!
