Dan -
        Yes, this is a Dixon engine.  See the attached photo of the box.  Tom didn't mark his engines, just like the Dixon Merco that I have listed here.

Best regards,

Harold

   I was at a local Home Depot last week and walking through the paint department, I noticed in their Kleen Strip display that had the usual selection, but there was a new one labeled "Green Lacquer Thinner." It was a buck more a gallon and just a quick look at the back of the can said it  was a "medium lacquer thinner" which I take to mean speed in drying time. I didn't have time to really compare with the regular stuff but if it's a slower acting thinner that means it might help in higher humidity levels, as long as the other properties of it match the regular stuff? I really don't have any need for it right now, but thought I would check it out and see if anyone else has seen it and tried it? They only had one gallon of it but if they would have had it in quarts I might have picked up one just to play with.
   Type at you later,

     Prop buzzing?  I am curious which of the many strange sounds coming out the front of an electric you mean.

I thought this was IC but I have noticed a lot of very strange, what I assume are prop tip noises that are not drowned out by the motor like they are in IC.  You can almost fly some maneuvers by sound.  Twins add another pleasant sound when they harmonize!  Would love to hear a quartet someday.

I wonder if the plywood or sandpaper washers would work on Electric.  Don't see why they wouldn't.

A 1/64” plywood disc behind the prop can shush some cases of prop buzzing. I got this advice from Matt Piatkowski via Paul Walker. It works.
