Cox Babe Bee .049 2 -Stroke Glow Engine R/C Aircraft Engine – Second hand (Box 163)

Cox Babe Bee .049 Glow Engine (Box 163) Vintage Cox Babe Bee .049 glow engine, approximately 0.8cc. Introduced in the 1950s, the Babe Bee became one of Cox's best-known designs and helped make small model aircraft engines widely accessible. Its compact aluminium crankcase and integrated fuel tank made it particularly suitable for lightweight control-line and ready-to-fly aircraft. The classic design uses a reed-valve induction system and glow ignition; precise details can vary with production year. This second-hand example turns over and has compression but has not been test-run. The glow element, fuel tank, reed valve and running performance have not been tested. A collectible vintage engine for a Cox enthusiast or model-engine collection.
