Cox .049's: Please School Me
Andre Ming:
SO... I'm getting back into C/L.
Daughter is supposed to be joining me. (Taught her to fly eons ago.)
I'll be returning via my big (.35 size) stuff, but later I would like to pick up some Cox Black Widows for use on little plank wing combat/stunt trainers I build. (See pic.)
In regards to Black Widows, what do I need to be on the lookout for? I've heard the term "thick cylinder version". What's that? Also, do the plastic tank plates work, or should I try to stay with metal? Are there air inlet sizes I need to be aware of and if so, which is better?
Oh ye of Black Widow knowledge, your student listeneth.
;D

Andre Ming:
Okay, upon further review, I have rooted around among my .049 stash and I have three disassembled Black Widows (all have metal tank backs) and my original Golden Bee (that I had put a 290 piston/cylinder on), also disassembled and bagged. Lastly, I also have three Tee Dee .049s, all of the gummed up.
I now recall that back in 2015-2016 I intended to refresh all of the above but was having trouble finding the needed parts to do so. (Tank O-rings, gaskets, reeds, piston/cylinders/etc for the Widows and Golden Bee.)
SO... is there now a "kit" available at Cox Int'l, MECOA, or somebody, that would fix me up with gaskets and what have you?
Also, are piston/cylinders available?

Will do!
I'm still on for the trip up your way and looking forward to it. Heard from Dave?

Or buy the O-rings, backplate/tank gaskets, head gaskets in bulk and run through all your engines.

All three have an eBay presence too.
