I may be wrong but Black Widows had a large open exhaust port on the jug not the restricted slits and additional porting not done to the jug in the video,also this allowed sub piston induction....the piston skirt just exposes the bottom of the exhaust port letting additional air in
Early engines had no slitted ports. Later on they added them. My wife used to work at Cox, and the chief engineer was a member of our club when Cox was on West Warner in Santa Ana, Ca. before the fire. This engine was sent to me, and may have had a different cylinder put on it or it is a later version. Thanks.
Hi Dave, The sound of those Cox engines are a pleasure to the ear. Brings back many fond memories flying control line with my father at a local parking lot on Sundays when all stores were closed in PA. Ilea is great with a camera. You both stay safe. Thanks for your service.
@@NightFlyyer I weel knew this case. We are flying on second airfield with my clubs fellows becouse first airfield were closed ... Police, peoples with complains on noise. There was no matter that they working all day with they petrol lawn mowers . This" was ok" Hard times for modellers. Greetings.
Dave great idea. I can learn a lot from this. Dave your videos are always great and educational. especially if you show things from the past and can also use them for new aircraft. Happy flying Dave. 😃👍✈️🛩
I love a good electric to nitro conversion. The favorite one I still own is a Tiger 400 with an OS .15, been probably 15 years since it last flew but it was a blast to fly.
I have a throttle ring cylinder, but adding a servo to control it, is more weight. In my experience, the throttled Cox's never had the top end of one without. I think just a bigger engine will work, soon as I find one. Thanks.
Glad to see you fixed the Black Widow, but Lol, call it a Heli-biplane, because it barely flies with it, or put an 049 on it, and really have fun with it..! Oorah, Bud
Were you using the same size props on the electric as the fuel engines ? I would have sure thought a .049 would have had a enough power for the bipe no bigger than it is.
Prop was bigger on the Electric, but this plane never flew well in any headwind. This is a 60 year old, tired .049, so glad it ran as well as it did. Thanks Tom.
When Charles over at Candela Research sent me these engines, I have been getting exciting about getting more Nitro Flying in this year. I grew up with these small engines back in 1956 when I was 8. There was not much RC, just U control line flying back then for us kids. That is where I learned about these small engines. So I decided to restore these and then try them on a couple of aircraft. You saw that on my tiny Cessna Cub recently . The Liberty bipe has unique flying capabilities which makes it fun, especially this big and only 8 ounces!

You always make me nervous putting your hand so close to a spinning prop like that. We all remember what happened that one time so please be extra careful. I think it needs more power but I still admire your efforts all the same. Semper Fi.
Haha. It only looks close and I did this all my life, so not too worried. It is a tired, 60 year old engine, so I'm happy it worked at all, and it still had a bit more power than the electric. Thanks Scott and Semper Fi.
Thanks Dave. For someone else who grew up primarily flying .049 models, this really warms the Cox-kles of of my heart.
Right on! Haha. Glad to hear. Thanks much!
Love it! Nicely done, I like it.
Thanks so kindly.
Dave, Ilea always puts great camera work for you. I thank her always, thank you.
She really does and I love her for it. I will and thank you as well,.
Great video as always. Well wishes to you!
Thanks much, Mike.

Those were the days for sure Don. Glad to spur some memories for you. Thanks so kindly and Semper Fi.
Wow. He's sound like wasp😊 Noisy wasp. Well done. Nice video. Best regards
Yep. Neighbors never complained when we were kids with these ukies flying around. Today, you can barely find a place to fly electric. Thanks much.

@@Viper81BB Glad I live where no one complains, but for sure I've heard in some places they complain about the electrics too.
Dave great idea. I can learn a lot from this. Dave your videos are always great and educational. especially if you show things from the past and can also use them for new aircraft. Happy flying Dave. 😃👍✈️🛩
Thanks so kindly, Richard. I appreciate you..

That sounds great. better go fly it. Thanks much, Ricky.
5:30 Nah! maybe a Tee Dee 049 or 051 with a throttle ring should give the results you want?
Still a very awesome flight Dave!

@@NightFlyyer Ok then Dave😁
She's still a slow flyer, but the engine held up well. Man, still so much snow in Iowa. Time for spring.
Sick of the snow, cold and wind for sure. Yep this old engine ran good for it's size and age. Thanks.
So cool 😎
Thanks much, Benjamin.
Like all your vintage stuff you'll need to get the nitro hellicopters out too
I will do that for sure. Thanks so kindly..
Cool 🤠
Thanks so much Bret!

That second engine was an 049. At least it flew.

The bip eflew well with the .049! How hard was it to clean the slime off of that foam?
It flew not too bad for sure. There also wasn't much slime on it, but I needed a little nose weight, so just let it stay. LOL. Thanks.
@@NightFlyyer Perfect!
Still seems underpowered. Wonder how a Cox ,074 Queen bee would do?
Still more power than the electric but not much. The queen bee would be great to try. Send me one and I'll do it. 😉Thanks.
Put a .15 on it
Hell yeah! Angry bees flying in 2023 haha.
Yes, I now know what the Neighbors thought when we were kids flying Ukie with these angry bees...but you know what? No one complained back then.
R❤❤❤
2003: I converted my nitro park flyer to electric.
2023: I converted my park flyer from electric to nitro
It flies like the lazy bee lol
09 09 09 09 09 09
That will make it quite nose heavy as my O9 weighs more than the plane. LOL. I'm looking into it.
How about putting the twin .049’s on it
That would work, but that unit weighs more than the plane. I might take a look at it. Thanks Jon.
