COX ENGINE of the MONTH!
and have a chance to win a Black Lynx .049 Engine from Ex Model Engines!
(More info coming soon!, yes there really is more info coming soon.)
Rules: You may post *one (1) picture of an engine or a group of engines that are alike (for example: a collection of Space Bug Jr.s that feature each color tank). The engine must be a Cox engine, it can be stock or parts built. Cox engines using aftermarket or handmade parts and multi-cylinder engines are allowed as long as they feature Cox made crankcase(s) and cylinder(s). Although proof isn't required, engines that are built using aftermarket or handmade parts have to be able to run. A good example of a non-running homemade engine that wouldn't qualify for this contest is found HERE.
*You may post a 2nd picture as long as it is is showing another view or detail of the engine(s) being displayed in the first picture.
After 5 days, the first 10 pictures will be moved to another topic to be voted on by other members. The winner will have their engine displayed on the sidebar of the forum and forever listed on the past winners page.
Looking forward to see what you guys come up with! Good Luck!

RknRusty,
You appear to be operating the Kitty Cat engine in the clockwise, or European direction.
With a reed valve engine, it of course does not matter, but do you benefit any from the torque assistance, while flying CCW? My understanding is that early C/L was flown in the opposite direction than we fly, today, and our American direction of propeller rotation, aided in taut lines. Hmmm. Wrong thread? Good luck in the contest!

Damn, that is a backwards prop. I didn't know I had any. I have a bunch of those that were given to me.
I only put that one on because it looked better than the pedestrian MA prop. Good catch, Gus. I'm glad I didn't find out at the field.
And I suspect it would benefit from torque in the other direction. Maybe not as much tip weight needed?

Sorry, I didn't realize we had all 10 entries already. I'll post the poll this evening.
Altidsultan:
Thomas, unless I've missed some information along the line, I'm thinking that one is not a Cox. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It more of my fault, I should have noticed that we had reached 10 entries earlier. I'm really behind on here lately, just way too busy. All that should clear up within the next week or so when my classes end.
Altidsultan's "O-Forty-Five" is okay for the Cox Engine of the Month. It's one of the earliest engines offered by Cox. Built using Anderson parts (cylinder, piston...) and Cox made parts.
