VINTAGE COX. 020 PEEWEE ENGINE FROM LITTLE STINKER BI - PLANE
Item History & Price
I HAVE NEVER SOLD ONE OF THESE FOR A LONG TIME .THIS WAS IN A LITTLE STINKER BI PLANE BAG & WAS KEPT OILED .IT WAS MOUNTED INVERTED IN THAT PLANE. HAS PROP & HAS GOOD COMPRESSION
SOME MODELERS LIKED MY LITTLE STORY SO I WILL LEAVE IT.
I WAS STATIONED IN GERMANY WHEN THESE FIRST CAME OUT .THE BASE HOBBY SHOP HAD 12 OF THEM & A BUDDY & I BOUGHT THEM ALL FOR 1.50 EA .
WE DESIGNED A LITTLE 24" FREE FLIGHT WHERE WE COULD GET 2 OUT OF 1 SHEET... OF 1/4" & 2 SHEETS OF 1/16". THE FIRST TWO WE FLEW AT A BASE BALL FIELDS BY OUR BARRACKS.
AFTER THAT FUN WORE OFF & WE WERE ABOUT TO BE ROTATED BACK TO THE STATES WE WONDERED WHAT TO DO WITH THE ENGINES. WE THEN BUILT 10 MORE . TOOK ALL 12 TO THE FIELD , FILLED THE TANKS FULL & WITH A WIND BLOWING OFF BASE LET THEM ALL GO. STILL WONDER IF SOME GERMAN MODELER OR KID FOUND THEM & HAD FUN WITH THEM OR IF SOME ARE STILL IN THE TREES FROM THE BASE TO FRANKFORT?
SORRY ABOUT MY RATTLING ON. MY LATE WIFE SAID I TALKED TOO MUCH . ANY HOW THAT'S ALL.
MERRY CHRISTMAS , MAX H.
