Do you have a ruler?  My Big Mig 049 is 3mm.  It's pretty easy to tell -- it'll be metric, probably 3mm like my 049.

Standard metric sizes are M3x0.5, M3.5x0.6, and M4x0.7.  Unless those Ruskies are up to tricks, it'll be one of those.  Diameter is obvious if you have calipers and can be squinted out if you have a ruler (3mm is just a hair less than 1/8).  You can figure the thread pitch by counting off ten or twenty threads and measuring.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Yes, Cox 049 threads (at least the reedies) are 5-40.  I have two bags of nicely-fitting screws to prove it.

#5 screws are nice because their nominal diameter is exactly 1/8".

The Norvel .049 and .061 engines have a 3mm prop shaft.  That is what screws into the prop driver/crankshaft.  It has nothing to do with any Cox engines.

Keith, the Norvel .061 car engines have 5-40 threads in the crank for the prop to fasten to, trust me, i have several and fly them regularly and one new in the box.  Ray

Looks like threaded part of prop screw is 3 mm.  But the unthreaded section steps up to 3.2 mm.

Ray is correct.  H^^

Norvel .061 car engines take 5X40 prop screws.

The thread is a M3.5.  Our local Ace hardware store has them.  A hardened socket headed screw works well.  The shank may mike 3.2 mm, but a standard over the counter M3.5 fits

The Norvel airplane engines .049 and .061 use M3-0.5mm x 20mm, the 0.74 uses M4-0.7mm x 25mm, and the .15 uses M5-0.8mm x 25mm.

The Norvel Cmax car engine .061 uses 5-40 x 3/4", like Cox .049 engines.
