- The World's Smallest Traveling Engine. This TD .010 is being passed around by members of the Cox Engine Forum. It has been on the road for several years and it is now my turn to play with it. This video chronicles some of the adventures I've had with it. I will soon mail it to someone else and let the travels continue.

Flew "Littlest Stik" with .010 and .020 back when. Ace rudder only, pulse propo.
Cool! I have a Littlest Stik built from the plans running a TD .020. They fly great! Mine has modern radio gear with 2 channels, though. 😀 The one in this video is quite a bit smaller, spanning 15” and weighs under 3.7oz.
I have a littlest stik!! Rudder only with the .10. It’s a escapement setup. It was my grandfathers. It’s now on the ceiling in the shop with about 15 other. Rare Birds I don’t fly anymore. Even got a ranger42.
Well now you've got me re-thinking "bigger is better". So cool.
Thanks! Big fun machine in a small package!
Great work and effort to get the deed done!
Thanks! A labor of love. 😁
Wonderful the little Cox motors 👍👍😎 Best regards from Germany 👍
Thank you!
That 'lil bugger RIPS!!!
so cute!
*I used to make my own fuel with 93% methanol 6.9% Klotz Oil (Red Oil) and 0.1% nitro glycerin. A friend made the nitro glycerin in small batches and when diluted in alcohol is very Very Stable.*
LOVE IT!!!
Yeah Boy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about putting your Plan on Outerzone ? With your Name!
Troy Blacks Tee Stik.
I am still waiting for that to happen😶
Too many projects going. Not enough time to go back and revisit that one right now. Get some builds behind you and it won’t be hard to start making up your own stuff.
@@TeeBeeZee true true. I Think it wont be hard to get it close to yours...and maybe i come up with a sharky zaunkönig...or some sharky like micro plane...u should know that u where the guy wich is guilty vor getting me involved into Balsa builds,and cox engines!!!....but it would be nice, like i said before.....if you may have some time to Draw a Plan in the Future . It would be such a great thing for the comunity.

My 049 is really tight at tdc... the piston is locked and the crank can move slightly . Any ideas? Excellent video man! Love to see more cox videos :)
Try oiling the piston/cylinder. Then heat it in the oven at about 350F for a while and try to carefully loosen it up. It’s common for them to seize up with congealed castor oil after sitting for long periods. Heat is your friend to get them loosened. I like to use Aero Kroil oil for this.
Remove glow head with proper wrench, insert some glow fuel or acetone, should dissolve sticky varnish and free piston

Nice engine, i want to learn more about this cox little engines. do you know what is the thrust in grams ?
I enjoy running, flying, and maintaining these little engines but don’t really know the performance specs. If you were to join the Cox Enfibe Forum online, the guys there are a wealth of information about them.
@@TeeBeeZee ok,tks!!
Hey Troy,how do u start the teedee010 with a nornal glowstarter/ glowdriver? Can i do that also on a normal cox 049 head or is it a modified head wich u are using??
Sorry but it only works with the Rower Hobbies glow starter that is no longer sold. I still have 2 that work. The others on the market that I’ve tried do not contact the head properly to heat it. The Cox clips work pretty good on .020 and larger heads but the .010 is tricky due to its size. I will probably have to make a custom clip soon.
@@TeeBeeZee i see ...i wonder why there is no big 2rd Party dealer for cox Support like These rower Starters or ther stuff wich would be necesary....
Cox International and EX Model Engines sell parts and accessories.
@@TeeBeeZee i know,what i tried to tell is why there is no glowdriver fom coxengines.ca
But i Think my Clip just works fine....
Thx by the way....
Was that a cox Olympic or the cox sportsman I saw in the beginning
On the display shelf? That’s a Sportsman .15.
@@TeeBeeZee Oh nice, I ended up selling mine a few years back. I've still got my brand new Olympic but I haven't run it yet because I haven't been able to find a piston reset tool
@@skaterboi8494 I fly a lot of Cox engines but must admit that I haven’t gotten around to running any of the .15s yet. Someday.
@@TeeBeeZee the cox conquest it's a great running motor, I have one on one of my control line planes. I'm considering puting one on a free flight model here pretty soon
yeh ..27,500 rpm can be attractive!!😎👏🇺🇸(parts a real challenge)
Excellent work 🙂 im seeing many cox model enligne : Cox Tee Dee .010 but the tank its plastic, can you give me an advise if its good ? Its not gonna melted with the engine heat ?
No problems with melting plastic Cox engine tanks. This model actually has a remote 10cc tank inside the fuselage but most of my .010 engines use the stock Cox tank.
@@TeeBeeZee thanks for replying, i was looking if you have Facebook page or something to contact you, the .010 around $46 but there is no parts enligne incase i need it one day, i think im gonna purchase the 0.49 model
@@achrafjohnny8765 If you're new to operating Cox engines, I would certainly recommend you start with the more common .049 models. The Cox Engine Forum online has lots of info about that stuff. The smaller .010 engines are more tedious to operate and demand a little more experience to be successful with them. In addition, the smaller ones have a lack of spare parts available, as you mentioned, so extreme care must be taken while fiddling with them.
