Cox PeeWee .020 first flight

Sweet! Brings back a lot of good old memories! Nicely done ✅👍🏻😊🇺🇸✈️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 have to love those Cox .020’s engines

[@steveperry1344]

when i was a kid in the early 60's we had the cox .010, .020 and the .049. we built control line planes and free flight planes. lots of fun.

[@steveperry1344]

@@colinsmall8170 i think i remember that plane, was it the blue and yellow army training type plane? my first flying plane was the cox p-40 warhawk with the .049 engine. it was like a whole kit and just had to get fuel and a battery to start it. i think i ended up taking the spring off and i used the motor to put on other planes i built. glad to hear from you.

I usually don't believe in time travel but this video takes me back in time over 50 years to the RC models of my youth. It was single channel rubber-powered escapements and Galloping Ghost back then and a wonderful era in my life.

[@steveperry1344]

i didn't have RC but i used to help the men with their RC planes and i remember them winding up the rubber band escapement before they started their planes. we also used to help find them if they got lost and would get a $5 reward if we found them.

I'm always looking for rubber band motor type aircraft they are amazing to me in this day and age of RC aircraft

The Cox .049’s were great, but the .020’s were cool in their own way. Those were the best days days!

[@chrisfrank4267]

I remember my Cox 049 it taught me what frustration was as a kid. Which enabled me to move up to a very used British sports car as a teen. Who remembers Dr. Lucas the inventor of darkness

I heard he was the Prince of Darkness.

[@donr2670]

Sweet little aircraft - funny landing! My first RC was ACE Whizard (1977), this reminded me of that big time!

[@polylight]

I really need to get back into this. There's an thrill to engine-powered flight that is sorely missing from electric.

[@yzScott]

If you need a thrill, try helicopters.

[@randytolle6706]

I loved the sound of my .40 trainer as I throttled back in the landing pattern.

[@bidenisasnake9932]

250 gram? Rid? part 107?

[@dingalarm]

​​@@bidenisasnake9932 It's possible to meet the sub-250g limit *and* therefore avoid RID with a small engine (glow or diesel) powered model. For recreational use, I don't think Part 107 applies (I'm not in the US though).

Awesome. I remember these engine from the 1970's. Greetings from Miami.

[@kennethjackson7574]

I recall having one of the tiny Cox engines with the plastic fuel tank and the tie clip so it could be worn on a necktie after removing the tank. I don’t know where it went, though. Cool tiny thing.

[@mikegmdw1]

I had a Kiel Kraft Pixie free flight that I put a Cox tee dee .010 their smallest engine - flew really well in 1960.

[@victormiranda9163]

nice, yall make it look easy.

[@xpump876]

I nostalgically remember that smell of Cox engines burning fuel !

[@bidenisasnake9932]

Smelt more like melting plastic than fuel to me.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Ha! That's music to my ageing Limey ears! I used to use my teeny glow-engines to launch lightweight 2-channel thermal-soaring gliders. I had a PAW diesel, too, but the Cox glow-engines were easier to manage because the fuel was cheaper and because I was just a kid and didn't know how to adjust the diesel's compression properly. Remember those power-pods which slotted under the model's wing-retaining bands? 😁 Mmm, messy... Lots of fun, although the rate of climb was never very impressive. The best part of every flight was when the fuel ran out, the screaming stopped, you could hear the larks twittering again, and then it was all about floating around overhead with two clicks of up-trim, looking for lift...

[@flyingthingsMGB]

Thanks for the comment!

[@tonybarnes3658]

Well done! She's faster with the engine off!!

[@jb4688]

I think those motors came with plans for a balsa wood model that looks like the one in the video!

[@tedcorey3054]

Nice.

How bout the Fox 35 & the McCoy 29. I have them both. Does anybody remember those engines?

NOPE!

[@tonyaccurso1090]

Very cool! What model airplane is it? Kit or scratch built?

[@flyingthingsMGB]

Thanks, they are Piper wings and stabilizers I got from a friend. I made the simple fuselage myself :)

[@Paiadakine]

You guys are having way too much fun

[@flyingthingsMGB]

It realy is :)

[@aureliobrighton1871]

In Germany the Cox'ito' screaming by the name Pee Wee was 0.33 ccm (.12 cui). A most magical little jewel. The one on your plane was I believe called Tee Dee 051. And we all knew about the occult 'Black Widow' type only from the papers coming with the engines. Funny enough the fuel provided by Graupner was branded 'Titan'. Cheers from Munich :)

[@flyingthingsMGB]

Hoi Aurelio Der kleine ist tatsächlich ein PeeWee. Die TeeDee‘s haben einen Frontvergaser. Bei meinen anderen Videos sieht man teilweise einen TeeDee 0.20 :) Grüsse aus der Schweiz

[@olafeklund6200]

Have Cox gone into making even smaller engines? When I was a kid, .049 (Babe Bee) and .035 (PeeWee at the time) were the only two I knew of - in the early 1960's.

[@flyingthingsMGB]

Yes, there are .020 PeeWee‘s and TeeDee‘s and even 0.10 TeeDee‘s

[@hogfishmaximussailing5208]

I remember when you could buy an 020 for less than 20$. Now there worth ten times that used.
