I am 75 and trying to keep the memories. Thanks much, Kevin!

Way to go. That is a good reliable engine, so it should be fine. Have fun and happy flying, Bret.

My first build was a Sterling Citabria with an 020 PW around 85'. My old man had the real thing in the identical paint as the one on the box. Mowing lawns just couldn't finance a Canon so unfortunately it became toothpicks ala free flight 🫏💥😭😂

Right on. Gee I'm only paying $69 a gallon, but for 20% from Torko Racing fuel. I know Sig is great fuel too. Thanks for being a long time subscriber and know I appreciate you. Happy flying and thanks so much!

It sure is. Thanks Robert.

Hi George and thanks so kindly for commenting. That was a great perspective! Happy flying to you as well.

I never messed with the CO2 motors so can't help you there. As you saw, I made Key Chains and had the Pistons Gold Plated, So tie tacks sound cool too. The 010 on Cox engines international has a price tag of $395, so I passed on that too. Good luck with finding an engine and stay well. Thanks much.

So true. Thanks kindly.

Right on! Thanks.

Thimble Drome! LOL Thanks Dick.

That's what she said! 😂

Your welcome and thank you as well.

Thanks so much, Mike. Great to hear your story.. Happy flying and Stay well.

Haha. Right on. Thanks.

Your Welcome!

That is great. I only wish this .010 was not lost. Pretty rare. Sounds like your another Nitro lover, and that is good to hear. Thanks much.

Just needed a little cleaning up. Thanks.

Thanks kindly.

Me too. Thanks much.

Thanks so much, Dave. Stay well.

That is a bigger engine for sure. I made many videos on our UFos. I call mine You FO's. Here are two of my favorites. This is my mini with a .049 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esuHlNJmsZyqfIE.html and this is my bigger Nitro version (I have electrics too) with a .32 heli engine. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9Cod6uhmZzPnn0.html . Thanks much.

​@@NightFlyyer: Yes Google says 0.49 cc is about 0.03 cubic inches so it was about 3 times bigger than your little one. I had the engine from a line controlled balsa wood and rice paper airplane. I didn't have any remote control then, so my UFO was not remote controlled but just flew vertically up in the air so it was important to not have too much fuel on it. So I used a small syringe as a tank, so I have some control over the fly time. Thanks for your reply, I was very surprised by the big UFOs, I hope you don't get into trouble for having leaked some "military secrets". Even though Denmark is also a NATO member, I've never heard of that project. I know of a plane I think was called the flapjack. Very interesting to see, thank you.

@@MitzaMaxwell Ritht on. You had a .049, not a .49 That is a big difference and why I was confused. A .49 is quite a bit bigger than these small Cox engines. Sounds like you had fun. Flapjacks were cool with twin motors. Thanks much.

Yes, they have become quite pricey these days. Many parts can be found on www.coxengines.ca Thanks and good luck.

⁠​⁠@@NightFlyyerthey most certainly have, I wish I still had my collection. I had nearly 40 engines all together, I’ve used coxengines before, they are a very great company. I lucked out on eBay and purchased a .020 piston, and the seller is throwing in a sky copter engine as well 😊 I’m working on creating a cad model based off a free flight model from 1947 that I hope to scale down and 3d print. What would you suggest for an all up weight for the model or an idea of wingspan? I’m thinking around the 24” mark and 2oz for the airframe

@@Miniaturerailwaymuseum That sounds like a good start. Nice and light. The engine will pull that great! Good luck and happy flying.

@@NightFlyyer thank you 🙏 I think that will be about right as well. I’m so excited to start flying again

Thanks kindly Bud, especially to hear that from an Artist like you. Semper Fi.

I was doing good till last night when a deer jumped out in front of me and hit my car. Now I have that to deal with along with the weather. I just want to fly,.....you know? Thanks much.

@@NightFlyyer Ouch! Sorry to hear about that Dave believe me I'm looking forward to flying this year also if the winds and temps got way better on my end lol.

Gracias, Senor!

So true. I almost lost the first one in my Flying Shop Rag video. Maybe you saw that. Thanks. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h519qqmHram2oI0.html

Thank you sir!

LOL. Well, I still can nick my finger, but your right, this made it easier to adjust for sure. I recently ran my 020 and actually put it on an electric airplane. Maybe you saw that. Now go run yours and thanks much.

@@NightFlyyer I have also installed 020s (mostly PeeWees) on electric models, they work great on UMX planes. It's an easy way to get these engines into the air. As much as I enjoy running them on the bench, they are even more fun to fly! Take care, sir.

Right, but remember this engine was first made in 1960, (63 years ago) not like the modern stuff today, so it still holds the title of the smallest production engine in the world. It worked well on planes and not designed for cars. 33 k on your cars under load!? Wow. What kind of nitro engine do you have that does that?

@@NightFlyyer That is NORMAL for RC cars. 33k under load is lazy for them and is the realm of mild mannered RTR sport engines optimized more for easy handling and reliability than raw performance. Kyosho KE-25, OS 18CV-RX(I own two of each), Associated AE 18(1x), and my OS 30VG which is designed to sling 20 pound monster trucks around like ragdolls also falls into that rev band. A race spec car engine will hit 40k under load! I got tons of car videos on my channel. My Kyosho Scorpion XXL, my Mad Crusher GP both have KE-25s in them. The KE-25 is the OEM engine in the Mad Crusher and Kyosho still sells them to this day; if you wanna dabble with one and have the ~550 to spare pick up a Kyosho USA-1 GP. That truck is a blast to drive, the engine is a dreamboat, thing has a three speed auto trans in it, wheelies for days, sounds like an F1 car blasting across the yard....hehehe. I started my adventures in hobby grade RC with cars, and with glow powered ones. Been doing that since 2003, when I was 13. Only got my 'wings' in 2019. And ye, the little Cox td010 is an impressive li'l thing. They were pretty cheap back in the day, too. One of my holy grail engines alongside those OS wankels, but you covered the exact reason I don't own one in this video haha. Hell the only reason I got a couple of TD020s was I hit up the estate sale of a deceased aeroclub member and scored them for five bucks each.....

Right on. In my video on my other bigger ones, it set off the smoke alarm in my garage. LOL. Thanks much.

@@NightFlyyer ; Oh crap! At least you know the alarm is working! A good thing.

Smiley800, I was thinking the same thing. That fuel combustion is a very unique smell, seared into our olfactory nerves.

I lost many engines for sure, and others have sent me these. I still do not have a .010. Do you have that one? Thanks so much.

@@NightFlyyer i do have an extra 20 but not a 10.. yet.. I’m going through my stuff. I have boxes of motors. I have 150 + in my cabinet but at least 2 boxes to look through yet

A hundred? Wow. My wife worked at Cox and even I never had 100 or even 10 of these .010's. What did you use them on?

@@NightFlyyer *In the 1960's and 70's my parents owned a family recreational center (Willy's Rec. Center) in Indiana. We had a Mini golf coarse, bowling, batting cages, bumper cars, arcade AND an RC Air Field where you could rent RC planes to fly. As you can imagine we lost money on the RC field end of the business while it did bring in lots of side business since RC rental was such a rarity.*

@@johnslugger That is a great story. Thanks. We used to fly ukies at Disneyland in the 60's, and I never knew there was another place to do that. Very cool.

I watched that and it really screams. How did you measure that engine ran 14,000 RPM over? Sounded the same on the ground as mine, but really great unloaded for sure. My wife worked at Cox when they were on West Warner in Santa Ana Cal. The chief engineer was a member of our club, and Joe Klause of Kustom Kraftmanship was a good friend. He made fine thread needle valves, chrome cranks, pressure backplates with nipples, etc. He would be impressed with a stock engine doing 41,000 RPM. Thanks and happy flying.

@@NightFlyyer Thank you and for sharing, regarding Joe over the years I have gathered up some of his offerings.😀 Per that last vid link best static peak hit 28,858 rpm. Prop used was a 2.56 x 4N it unloaded another 6,326 rpm to 35,184 rpm peak- data taken with a sound spectrum analyzer flown to apex rpm / speed in front of the camera. Best recorded static rpm data testing made 33,107 with an all carbon 3x3 prop. Here is the vid with the highest unloaded rpm mentioned previous post. Pass down wind with stock black prop 41,985 rpm / 50 mph prop pitch speed. The 3x1.25 is naturally low on speed for RC use given the pitch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6iWarJ0p7a4oWg.html

Ah, yes...A truly unique smell for sure. Thanks Alan.
