I won it, now what is it?

Looks like a product engine, has a throttle sleeve and a baffle of sorts. Anyone know what it's out of?

It's a "postage stamp" engine. They came in cox RTF models. Throttle ring may not be part of it.

Looks more just like a misc parts lot.

I think it may be a dissmantled product engine but cannot be sure as it may just be a misc parts lot.

Looks like a (nearly) complete product engine... But I think there's one backplate screw missing, and if the reed isn't transparent plastic, it's missing too Smile

Thanks, it does look like the 190-6. The picture wasn't that great but, hey it was 10 bucks so whatever. As mentioned above looks to be missing a screw and maybe the reed. Thanks all. I was mostly interested in the throttle sleeve anyway.

Well we wont know until you get it!
At least you got the throttle thing.

I know, it's a DIY Cox engine kit!

nitroairplane Mon Nov 21, 2011 3:48 pm

Like this one What?

SuperDave Mon Nov 21, 2011 6:03 pm

nitro:

But Ron's kit will be, shall we say, "more challenging" than LeRoy's. Smile

**RknRusty** Mon Nov 21, 2011 6:15 pm

It'll run. I bet you can have it going in a couple of hours after a good soak.

Didnt the dragonfly (I think that was cox`s name for it) come with a red or black plastic tank that bolted or screwed into a reed block kind of like the postage stamp reed block?
Maybe its just dis-assembled without the tank?

George,

I think it refers to the size of the backplate, pardon me if you already knew that.

I'm not sure if there are different versions of that size, but yes, that is it.

man... what i would not give for the original DIY pee wee

microflitedude Tue Nov 22, 2011 9:57 am

BTW George, what engine is that? I have the same thing.

**RknRusty** Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:24 am

I have a few of those old red postage stamp backplates from my plastic model days. They are worthless to me, the venturis are small. If anyone here wants them let me know. They all have 40 year old dirt on them.

The thing I don't like is, that there is no way to mount them! confused

nitroairplane Tue Nov 22, 2011 1:12 pm

Well could there be no way to drill mounting holes for them?

Carl Goldberg used to market a baloon bladder tank set-up complete with
a retro-fit mount for the postage stamp backplate.
Those old backplates also feature a 128tpi needle valve assembly.
