TIA Can email already scanned jpg's of "Babe Bee" and TD .09 manuals and should have a few others in the library if you are unable to download information from: Cox http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/cox_start.htm Cox Engines http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/cox_start.htm COX Control Line, COX R_C, COX Free Flight, COX Glow Engines http://www.commonwealth.net/cgi-bin/displayproduct.pl?select=COX&selectkey=prodl ine&groupkey=prodgroup&showsort=no and other information under "Engines,Plugs,Tuning, Petrol, Turbines, Mufflers, Cleaning, etc" sub heading "Glow, Diesel & CO2 Engines - " at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~atong Regards Alan T.

Wasn't the spring engineered to take advantage of this anomaly so that the engine initially fired for backwards rotation, then it "coughed" at TDC and started running the right way ?

First time I ever heard of someone twinning Cox's like that, and an amusing story. I seem to remember that if you were using a Cox engine, you would always carry an old rag in the flight box, to chuck at the prop to stop the engine on the numerous occasions it would start backwards.

An old rag? What are you, a girly wimp? FIngers in the prop work just fine.

The spring starter works by hooking the prop into it, winding backwards about 3/4 of a turn, and then releasing. Trying to start these engines without the spring can be tricky, and yes, they will often start up backwards, especially if over-primed. One point - they do need 15% nitro fuel to run properly... cheers Dave SignatureLiteracy Support Software from: Xavier Educational Software Ltd School of Psychology, University of Wales Bangor http://xavier.bangor.ac.uk/ ...
