COX QRC .049 Engine
Made by COX HOBBIES INC. / COX Engines
From Wikipedia
- 1976 QRC (Cat#450-1 - manufactured 1976–1996)
The QRC was a modified Babe Bee engine that had a muffler and larger (8cc) fuel tank. In the 1970s noise became an issue and the Cox engineers discovered that when adding a muffler the engine would lose significant power. This problem was alleviated by installing a cylinder with no sub piston induction. The engine was designed for power launching Radio Controlled Gliders and had a red tank with a blue spinner.
Mine has a silver spinner.
