Fun with tiniest Cox 010 TD nitro engine on vintage Graupner Sonny glider
Ғылым және технология
Tiny engine, big fun. Cox Tee Dee 010 in power pod on Graupner Sonny glider converted to 2 channel RC. Glider pod hollowed out to take servos, receiver, pull-up regulator and lipo.
Nice evening flight before the rain came in. Tried to keep the plane in close proximity of the camera, fortunately had the perfect camera man, who did his best to keep the tiny, fast plane in focus, thank you very much!
Graupner Sonny scratch built from outerzone.com plans in original size.
2 Servos: GH-S37A
Receiver: Flysky FS2A
Lipo: Gaoneng 350mAh 1s
Transmitter: Flysky FS-i6 10 channel mod.
Fuel: Rapicon Car 16% Nitro + 10% castor

Thank you for the memories! Too bad there is no internet smell transmission for a complete immersion into the souvenirs.
I’m 7 or 8 years old in the lush patch of open lawn across the street on a hot sunny day with blue skies and wearing bell bottom jeans, I can smell the castor oil and feel the warm breeze and hear the old lady shouting me down, thankfully drowned pit by the screaming Baby Bee - thank you for that!

That's awesomeness. I had myself a Cox motor and left it a home in it's original packaging which was sitting in a box of other hobby supplies and my Mum decided to throw out my hobby supplies not knowing what this Cox packaging contained. I'm still upset many years later and here in Australia Cox is pretty difficult to find any vintage motors especially as Cox went out of business. 😭
Ahh, what memories, flying control line- building and launching Estes rockets- teaching my father how to fly RC. Good God I miss him! Thank you for the memories!
That is AMAZING that an 010 plan can fly that fast!!! Blistering!
RC ing these cox planes is the next logical step. Looks like a blast.
My index finger never fully recovered 60 yrs later from the constant strikes of those nylon blades. I still have a few of those engines here somewhere.

Oh no, had troubles with Cox starting also when I was young, but now I find them very easy starters. I think the most important thing is the glow source. A adjustable glow panel works best for me.
Had one of the .010s and an .020 when I was a kid and built a couple of free flight gliders for them. Never had the guts to launch the airplanes as I was sure they'd fly off and never come back. Had great times and learned real skills and brain knowledge with this wonderful hobby.
I haven't heard one of those engines and years! Full throttle is the only speed and it's amazing how long that little fuel tank lasts. Great little video.

We used to buy 10 cent balsa gliders and glue them together and put on a firewall on the front and mount one of these ... sometimes we would do a free flight others we’d install a belcrank and some tape on the tail and make a control line... hours of fun on the Cheap

You gave me memories of my childhood - thank you ! I used to have the Sonny Glider, too. And I used to have COX-Mini Engines, too. But this combination I didn´t try. The radio controls of the late 60th were heavier, than two of those planes. We got the thing in the air by thin tow ropes, running as fast, as we could.

The model is not precious at all, because it is newly build after a plan, no vintage kit was harmed in this process. For the 010 Tee Dee: If you are patient you still get used 010s at reasonable prices, and you also get spares for them. I already got 3 this way. If you want a NOS, you'd better sell you car first, haha! I don't want shelf queens, the things are made for flying and need air!

I've always enjoyed smaller models. Faster to build, easier to store and transport, and you can have a whole fleet of them. Yours is the perfect size. Some people say the smaller engines are troublesome. I've never had a problem with the .010, .020, and 049. They all ran beautifully.

Yes, very true. I find Cox engines very easy to start. If it doesn't start well, usualy there is a problem with a clogged venturi or a sticking reed. Important is a good power source for the glow plug, I use an adjustable power panel.

Ach Gott waren das Zeiten als wir damals mit den Cox-Motoren hantierten. Hatte gerade ein deja vu. Danke dafür.
Had one of those when a child but of course without controls. Just a burning fuse cut a 3 minutes, 2 minutes approximately on fuel for the cox. The fuse was to burn through the elastic band on the elevator which would than go into 100% vertical the ruder slight right to make slow turns gaining altitude. Spend many hours in the evening at school building it and very proud of my achievement. Still remember looking at it spiraling up in the air making nice slow right turns it caught the wind the cox spurred on the fuse didn't burn through I guess as it was never to be seen again.....

I was fearing that the engine would be too weak for the plane but it is really surprisingly powerful!
*During the 1970's the .010 was so cheap I just put them in the garbage-can and ordered 10 new ones by mail order - $96.00 for a 10 pack as a Cox dealer (My dead helped me get that dealership via his hardware store). I must have trashed over 300 of those .010's in my 7 years of flying,,, before I discovered GIRLS! Now I HOARD everything and tell my kids to HOARD stuff too.*
