    Let’s get this straight, the engine is NOT LEAKING OIL.
    The fuel is a mixture of lubricating oil and a highly flammable component.
    In my day, the 1950s, we used castor oil for the lubricant and kerosene and ETHER for the flammable bit.
    In those days you could go to a Pharmacy, in England they were knows as just Chemists shops, and as long as you had a laboratory bottle with a ground glass stopper you could buy 8 ounces of ETHER.
    Some times the Chemist would ask what you wanted it for and you would say that it was for model airplane engine fuel, there was rarely a problem.
    The fuel was a mixture of equal parts Castor oil, Kerosene (Paraffin in England) and ETHER.
    The engine burned the Kerosene and the ETHER and the Castor oil was just splashed all over the internal moving parts of the engine.
    The Castor Oil was NOT consumed and was just blown out of the exhaust port and as others have said it ended up coating the front of the plane.
    I never had this kind of engine which was know as a Glow-plug engine, the battery was used to get the plug glowing until the engine started to run.
    Then the heat of the combustion kept the plug glowing without the battery, the fuel formula for these engines was slightly different from what I have described.
    My engines were DIESEL engines and did not require a glow plug, they did have a mechanism which enabled you do adjust the compression at the top of the piston stroke.
    This was always VERY TRICKY to get right and resulted in many banged up fingers as you had to adjust a screw at the top of the cylinder while the engine was running. Young fingers and propellers running at 8 to 10,000 RPM do not mix without PAIN.
    Good heavens all this happened almost 70 years ago, I can barely believe it.
    But it was GREAT FUN, my mother stayed in the house not wishing to see the carnage that she confidently expected to occur.
    Good job I never told her about the Gun Cotton that I used to make.
    I used to test the quality of the gun cotton by placing a small amount on the concrete floor of the workshop and hitting it with a hammer.
    SPECTACULAR RESULTS, until one day the gun cotton literally blew the head off the hammer which then crashed straight through the glass of the workshop window.
    I do not remember how I explained that one.
    Best wishes, stay safe and thanks for the memories, didn’t someone else say that?

      Oil is getting everywhere outside the engine so it is leaking
      The model works but its a terrible design to have oil just leak all over the place from the combustion chamber vent.
      it would be better if it didn't need oil in the fuel and self lubricated from a oil reservoir.

      @@darkshadowsx5949 Don't you get that these are Model engines? Yes there do exist cleaner running engines, ones that run on actual gas and 2 stroke oil, but they have to be much bigger to do so.
      Does this thing look big to you? I doubt it's bigger than my steam engine, seriously, this things is TIIIINY.
      Of course it would be better if it didn't need so much oil in the fuel. But we don't live in a perfect world do we?
      We have to make compromises. This one means smaller, lighter engine. Can't do that with a 4 stroke which would need valves, a cam shaft and many other additional things that add weight and size.

      @@darkshadowsx5949 I do really wonder why you are not mentioning that in a model plane is no place for a person...
      normally the engine is used with some sort of an exhaust pipe so the oil will not mess up the motor.
      btw A leak is something where something is leaving a system, where it is not designed to. The exhaust is designed to let gas and oil out of the combustion chamber. So it is NOT a leak.

      Diesel fuel. Cox engines ignite the fuel with glow rings. Just like diesel engines ignite fuel with glow plugs. There is no spark plugs, so no glow ring, no ignition.
      Don't waste your time if you don't have a glow ring in it, a 9 volt battery, and use diesel (or Cox engine fuel). It won't run without all of those.
      Understand that gasoline and diesel are different in that gasoline does not ignite when pressurized. Diesel fuel does. But it has to be brought up to a certain temperature before it does. That's where the glow plugs or ring comes in. Initially, they start the engine by glowing hot electrically and compressing (pressurizing)the fuel (spinning the prop) Once the engine is running, the glow plugs stays hot by itself and the engine runs. Unplug the battery from the glow ring.
      Ever see what happens when you hit a can of WD-40 with a sledgehammer? DONT DO IT. WD-40 is mostly diesel fuel. In the can, it's already compressed. Another sudden compression increases the temperature past a flashpoint and BOOM!! There's a video of it in TH-cam somewhere.

Had a 0.049 Baby Bee with a tank extender on a 36" wingspan model and with a full fuel load it flew in a huge circle and out of sight almost.

      A 15 was a 2.5 cc. couldn't wear gloves, they tended to get caught up. When someone asks " doesn't that hurt? " you just hold up a hand with one finger down, 'hiding' it and say " you don't notice after the first one."
      I've got one .049 but never used it, had one earlier but it was stolen. I think I have somewhere a .01, a couple of 15's, a 30 or 35, a 40 and a 45 ( 7.5 cc ).
      I built a propeller driven car, started with a 15 with a manual throttle, a lever attached to the front of the deck working the throttle and a couple of springs on the front axle in case it hit a rock or something. you start it up and let go. it would drive around in circles until it ran out of fuel ( methanol and oil ) or it hit something. One day it was heading towards a parked car so I tried to grab it, hand hit the front axle which moved out of the way and thumb hit the top of the prop. Blood everywhere. rebuilt that car with the 45 but RC controls.

    I remember building a small sled out of my Erector Set back in the 1950's. I put "outriggers" on each side. A thin layer of sheet metal gave the bottom surfaces a flat area. Then I took one of these Cox engines and mounted it on the back. (Think "swamp boat pusher"). I grew up on a farm so I had plenty of outdoor space available. After a snow, I would put this little contraption down on some hard-packed snow and it would go like the blazes.
    I had not considered the possibility that one of the outriggers might catch in the snow but that is what happened. That turned out not to be a bad thing, however. When one of them would snag on a little high-spot on the snow, it would immediatly spin my sled, sending it off in a new direction.

    Hello friend, I am 79 years old. Since I was 15 years old I am a model airplane practitioner in all its facets. I started with “circular flight” and currently I fly everything that flies; motor sailplanes, sailplanes without motor, glow motors, electric
    motors, glow and electric helicopters. With 65 years of modeling, I think I have nothing left to discover. When I turned 60 I took out the ULM pilot title and flew successively in Quick Silver, Tecnam P92 and Tecnam Sierra. The doctors forced me to fly with a security pilot due to cardiac issues and desperate, I left him selling my Tecnam Sierra. I only fly model airplanes and, by the way, with all the experience accumulated last September 13, a Sukhoi propeller cut two fingers at the root of my nails.

      Cox made these for about three decades. I've had a number of them over the years. I have never heard of them being recalled. They made millions of them. Most popular size was .049 c.u., but they also made .020, .010, .074 and .090.. Can't recall all the sizes, but they made a lot of them. You used to be able to buy them in every hobby store.

    Memories of my old COX 0.049.
    I had a few of these in the early 80's.
    I had a COX R/C van with the 0.049 motor. You could steer the van via RC but no throttle control via RC.
    Those were really fun days with my big brother. 40 years later we are still running nitro on road RC cars with each other and now our grown sons are racing with us.

    Correct fuel for this the Cox TD 010 glo engine is 30 % nitromethane, 30% degummed castor oil and 40% methanol. Same fuel for all Cox TD racing series engines. TD glow heads all rated at 1.5v but TD's can usually be started on 1.2v.
    First series TD 010's had gold anodised crankcases and red plastic moulded parts. Second series natural finish crankcase and black plastic parts. Very good idea to disconect the fuel tube from the tank's plastic outlet before storage as the chlorine released from the tube material over the decades will attack the acetal tank material. Common TD 010 and 020 problem.

      @EleanorPeterson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      aeroearth? Hi! I was poor, so I only ever ran mine on a maximum of 3% nitro [three percent was all I could afford], and that was when using an 049 on a pod to lift a big RC glider. For free-flight with an 020 I'd use regular straight fuel - all my little Cox glow engines ran happily on it for many years. Amazingly high quality little bits of engineering. A glow head lasted a full 11month season for me. (I'm based in England; there's usually one unflyably stormy month in a year - but it's as likely to be in summer as in the depths of winter...) I found that the engines needed very little maintenance if kept clean; I hated stiff neoprene fuel tubing, and switched to silicone at the first opportunity. I still have a couple of unopened spare glow heads left from 1978! I loved everything about my tiny engines but the noise... :-)

    That small airplane motor has been around since 1955! It’s nothing new or spectacular. What he does here, my friend, Dale, and I used to do this on a weekly basis. And when anyone buys one, buy a half dozen(6) glow plugs, don’t ask! And we had sore fingers from starting it, we had no spring starter, great invention. And they make a great battery clip for starting, but this guy evidently likes hot fingers.

    • @cedriclynch
      @cedriclynch 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@soaringvulture That battery was probably a gas-lighter battery, with a big screw thread around the top. These gas-lighters used a glowing filament (rather like a glow plug) to ignite the gas on your cooker. It worked well with the old "town gas" that was made from coal and consisted mainly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, but it would not ignite the natural gas (methane) that replaced town gas in the UK around 1970. This large 1.5v cell disappeared from the market after that. Other batteries used for starting glow engines were the AD4 and AD34, which had four and eight (respectively) cells each the size of a large torch cell, all connected in parallel. These batteries were intended for heating the valve filaments of pre-transistor portable radios, so they were also disappearing by the 1970s.

      @scaleoldtimersociety7539 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      In the TeeDee engines the crankshaft is hollow, and there is a hole ground through the crankshaft right under the venturi that acts as a timing port and admits fuel/air mixture into the crankcase as the piston goes up in the cylinder, As the piston goes down, it pushes the mixture through bypass ports in the sleeve, around the piston and into the combustion chamber. The piston acts like a valve, opening and closing the bypass and exhaust ports. Pretty standard 2 cycle stuff. The cheaper Cox engines used a reed valve to admit the mixture into the crankcase instead.

      What you are seeing is the reflection of the glow plug element in the cylinder head. It is the high temperature of the heat of the filament that ignites the fuel. The engine does get hot but certainly not that hot!

      It is NOT a diesel.....a diesel has a much higher compression ratio. This little engine operates on a glow plug that is kept hot enough to ignite the fuel by virtue of the burning fuel.

      @@mystorion
      You are correct in that the little engine keeps running because of heat. However, if it were a diesel, that heat would be generated by virtue of high compression (the more air is compressed the hotter it will get). In this case, the burning fuel reheats the coil in the glow plug enough to ignite the introduction of fresh fuel on the next power stroke. Yes, there are similarities between a glow engine and a diesel, but, the glow engine is NOT a diesel. There were diesel model airplane engines manufactured at one time (and may still be?). These did not need a battery to preheat a glow plug. Starting one was accomplished by screwing in the glow device to increase compression to generate enough heat to ignite the fuel. Tuning was done partially by increasing/decreasing compression as opposed to using a needle valve and spray bar in the intake venturi. Lookup "diesel model plane engine", youtube has some very good examples and you will see the starting procedure which requires no battery and tuning accomplished by regulating compression (no needle valve).

    Spent every penny I earned, begged or otherwise acquired on the Cox .049 engines. They were engineering marvels, really and dirt cheap, costing only about $5-7 bucks in the late 1950s. They ran like crazy (in both directions) and were virtually indestructible. Never used the starter springs; flipped 'em by hand like real men! Wonder if they still make them...
