The Hobby shop I stop at on my 2 day run is pretty much R/C Helo's and planes, I am the only C/L customer. The owner was contacted by a elderly woman whose husband has recently passed away concerning his old C/L planes. When I stopped by yesterday he showed me what was there. Most of the planes are pretty rough in shape, but there was over a dozen engines all old. Diesels, about 5 of them the 2 I looked at had ED on the case. One was about a 20ish size the other was smaller than an 049, looking it up in an old AHC cat. it's probobly an 027.
There where several K&B greenheads a 29 and 35, the exhaust was shaped like the O&R's.
About 4 O&R's one was a 29 for sure one also had a blue head ??
1 Fox 29 with the exhaust rectangular with squared corners not rounded.
one large Spark Ignition set up still in the remains of the nose section of a plane.
It had Super 60 on one side and CUB on the other with a patent number.
There was a DeMeco Speed Wagon 30 in restoreable shape with a McCoy 29 rear intake Red Head (I've never seen before) was a little tricky getting out but managed to without destroying anything.
I'm thinking of making an offer for the whole batch but don't have a clue what to offer. I know without pics of everything and a list of all the engines this isn't much to go on.
Any info on the engines and maybe some price guesses would be helpfull. Thanks
I will get a complete list and pics when I go back next friday.
