Cox 049 Babe Bee - Manual start up

แชร์
ฝัง
  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2013
  • Manual start up of a 049 Cox Babe Bee (0,8cc) model airplane glow engine. This model is also powering my Kyosho RC car. The sound, which is deafening, on the video is tampered by using a noise damper on the camera.
    The engine gets its fuel through a fuel inlet in the fueltank, the air goes through a hole in the backplate. Fuel/air mixture intake to the crankcase is controlled via a reed valve.

    That brought back memories. I got my first Baby Bee for about $4 back in 1955, made by Thimble Drome back then. My second was mounted to a Thimble Drome plastic hydroplane boat, and ran as a pusher. The props we used were 6" diameter with a 3" pitch. Fuel was made by K&B. They had K&B 100 which we used, and K&B 1000 which was for larger (.18, .29 and .35) engines. Somewhere around the house I still have a Wen-Mac .049 engine. Thanks

    Started with Ukies, & Cox .049's, 1959. 1976 first Radio, been flying radio ever since. "Ridge Runt" kit, 2 channels, ail & elv, yank and bank flying , with 049's and the Tee Dee engines, 5x4,to 6x4 props. A quart of fuel for a sunny afternoon of flying. Flights are 4-6 minutes for the last 30 seconds to a minute, climb up high. This is were it runs out of fuel and becomes a fun glider to do loops and rolls on the way down, it's a great way to practice "dead stick" landings, 'cause they all are.

    Just a tip on these smaller engines. When the piston is at top dead center, a small gap is opened up below the piston allowing some the prime to go into the crankcase. Adding prime to this area and getting fuel to the crankcase really improves the starting characteristics of these small engines. Thanks Dave

    I grew up on these things, beginning in the late 1960s. No other engine got so many people hooked on model airplanes, and I heard that total production was around ten million engines. Since a lot of folks seem to be discovering the joys of 1/2-A engines for the first time, the one factor that affects success more than anything is fuel quality. These engines run best with a nitromethane content of 20--25%, mainly to hold a needle-valve setting, but the most important factor is lubrication. You want 20% oil--and ideally this will be all castor, or at least a 50/50 blend of synthetic and castor oils. Using fuel containing only synthetic oil will lead to accelerated wear of the connecting-rod ball joint. You can feel the looseness here on engines that have not been run on proper fuel, and you'll be able to hear the ball joint rattle when the prop is flipped over by hand. Another factor affecting performance is cleanliness. Keep the engine clean and always use clean fuel. Have fun!

      This engine got me into RC cars in the early 80's. It was powering a Kyosho car that i recently restored and has been running like a champ ever since again. These engines are virtually indestructable and the design is briliant!

      Is this really dangerous?
      I´m running this engine on standard R/C fuel but with castor oil.
      I have this "ball joint rattle" long before I let this engine run again after more than 20 years.
      I got it as nameless nitro engine, looked for some information about it, and now I got this fuel and the engine runs again.
      But i broke my propeller last week... So I have to buy a new one...

    • @2stroke4me
      @2stroke4me  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Cox engines are recommended to be used with fuel containing castor oil.So you shouldn't have a problem there.
      Since a very long time, i use HPI fuel containing Klotz oil and I used to add a small amount of castor oil to the fuel but the Cox engine on my rc car still runs fine without the extra castor oil and very clean (no carbon build up on the piston).
      Parts can be found at "Cox International" on e-bay.

      2stroke4me superbly simple. I note there’s quite a lot of fuel loss (as opposed to exhaust) and I remember this as being a problem on paintwork and tissue paper not properly doped. (My friend was/is an avid RC flyer since School Days (late 60s) but he’s now in America).
      Presumably this has now been improved upon. It’s a hobby I’d like to get into but being in my 60s now, and having many other hobbies, I don’t think I have much time left!! My hobbies include Model Railways to a greater extent.

      Bobby D Although the engine was quite rich, they always spit out some fuel and oil. Modern engines, especially the bigger ones, are more efficient and come with an exhaust. I don't fly, but most of my cars have engines, they all stay clean (except for where the exhaust exits the bodyshell).
      If you really want to get into flying, and you can afford it, don't let age stop you. Life's short, take the most out of it!

    • @2stroke4me
      @2stroke4me  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The methanol in the fuel reacts with the iridium on the glowplug's filament. Sometimes those filaments are made of platinum, which causes the same reaction (catalytic decomposition of methanol with a platinum catalyst).
      The nitromethane helps to accelerate the combustion.

      We had Cox planes when I was a kid, DakGuy. They were pretty small...12" to 18" wingspans were about as much as a .049 would lift. Something like a 5cc engine would be more comfortable to fly with.

    First you need to tune it up a little. Running way to rich. Second this wasn't the smallest engines Cox built. There was the .020 and the .010. The .020 ran like the .049, but the .010 was a pain to start and keep running.

    Hi, this is quite a noob question since I am new to CI engines for rc butplease bear with me...
    Can you "feed" the fuel tank while running? Also, I read that the tank must be airtight. How does it overcome the vacuum that is formed when the fuel is used?
    Thanks a lot everybody!

    • @2stroke4me
      @2stroke4me  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello. Yes, you can feed the fuel tank while the engine is running. And on these kind of engines (Cox engines), the fuel tank is on the back of the engine and is always open. Otherwise it would indeed create a vacuum.
      It's a bit different with engines that have a carburetor. The fuel tank is connected with the exhaust via a fuel tube, so that the pressure from the exhaust pressurises the fuel tank in order to feed the carburetor. There the fuel system must be airtight, otherwise the engine is barely tunable and runs inconsistent.
      The Cox engine's intake is regulated with a reed valve. The vacuum created by the piston (going upwards) draws in the fuel/air mixture, so the fuel tank doesn't need to be pressurised.
      The carburetor operated engines draw their fuel through a hollow crankshaft. The vacuum from the piston is not enough to draw in the fuel/air mixture. That's why a pressurised system is needed, like here: th-cam.com/video/HHSzUomCWRc/w-d-xo.html

    • @wdtaut5650
      @wdtaut5650 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On this engine, it's the seal between the engine crankcase and the tank which must be airtight. For most engines, whether the tank is attached (as here) or separate, the tank needs a vent to prevent vacuum. Some engine-tank setups have the tank pressurized instead of vented.

    • @christopherknee5756
      @christopherknee5756 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used to position a second fuel tank behind and slightly above the Cox engine. This extra tank fed into one of the Cox engine filler pipes and the other filler pipe was one was closed
      off. I could get long flight times with this setup. I'd draw you a diagram and slap it in here IF I COULD.

    • @gregorydahl
      @gregorydahl ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a tube to fill the built in aluminum tank with a skinny hose from the fuel can . Ans a vent hole for over flow . Keep it right side up during flight or fuel will drip out .
      It uses methynol alcohol and castir oil mix .

    • @DoNotPushHere

    • @2stroke4me
      @2stroke4me  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. These are glow engines and run on a nitro/methanol/castor oil fuel mixture. To start up the engine, the filament inside the cilinder head needs to be ignited first.
      There are small model Diesel engines too. They run on Diesel fuel and need no ignition from a battery.

    • @wdtaut5650
      @wdtaut5650 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Model diesel engines run on a fuel very different from truck/auto diesels. You can't get it at a gas station. Kerosene and (usually) ether are part of the mix, and they are two-strokes so they have to have oil for lubrication. Davis Diesel Development sells ready-to-go fuel, or you can find recipes on the internet. If you decide to mix your own, pay close attention to how it is done.
