Blast from the past, trying to find...

Still have 2 cox engines, doubt either would run at this point. Loved how they sounded like a pissed off bee.

I must have smoked three of them over the 3 or so years I was beating the snot out of that Cox. I always used the fuel needle as the throttle ! I always loved the "no exhaust" and watching the piston fly up and down inside the cylinder ex port. Great memories !

my first little gas engine was also a cox, but a tether line airplane.
I found the tether sucked but letting that sucker free was some good entertainment.

Funny most younger kids will say a 2.5 traxxas was their first ?

Lets face facts were becoming elderly relics if you were born in the 50's and 60's. Now if I can just revive nitro RC's i'll have my fufilled my life's mission !

I was not content with just driving in circles on pavement, so I teathered my car 1/2 on pavement , 1/2 on dirt. I also fabbed a plywood jump to allow the car to jump over the raised edge of the pavement speeding from dirt to pavement ! BRILLIANT ! Except for all the dirt ingestion into the unfiltered Cox engine... LOL

I liked the fact that you could look in the exhaust port to see if your plug was glowing before starting
