I was up in an old trunk of motors that I had stashed away, a lot of stuff from my 'youth' and came across my old Cameron 15. As I remember it was a hard starting anemic thing that really didn't give me a lot of flying pleasure. Some say they were really good but this one was really difficult. It looks good and isn't beat up and has decent compression so I guess I'll give it another try on the bench and see if my years of experience have improved my ability to start it.
Cameron is a motor that seems to have not existed even though they made motors till I believe 1970 and I bought an ignition 23 that was a clone of the O&R 23 but ran better.
Are there any on the forum that actually ran one of these and what was your experience with them

Cameron made a .19 engine for Cox to use in their Thimbledrone race cars.
Had 4 headbolts and a ring---S?
I had one and it ran very well.
I never will forget ;Tom Dean had a C/L Scale model that had was just super!
You had to see the outside as well as inside building detail .
He won at Nats one yearand then another time,lost because he couldn,t get it started.
It was powered by a Cameron .19.
Cameron built a race car (hot rod roadster) called the Rodsy.It was a greatl looking little car.
Never got to see one run.

I picked up one of those $5.00 Cameron 19's in 1951. It was a real nice runner, powered a Dragon style but smaller (36" span) looking stunt ship nicely, also powered several Stearmans of 32" span. These would do the old time pattern. (It was the only pattern then.) I can't recall any problems starting or running them. Still have it but it is in pieces right now. Not a powerhouse but pretty good for it's day and cost.
