I can't seem to find it now, but the mk 2 I want to say were 57. They go up to the teens. It was every year or two that the mark changed numbers. Wish I could find the source I did have.... I have everything from a two up to a thirteen.
Just got my hands on one from a control line model that has a 'throttle' valve on the exhaust. Unfortunately it's locked solid right now, but I'm giving it a shot at getting it running.
I'm with Backbar. Too much prop for that little engine. When I was a kid, I was really into glow engines and control line planes. I had Cox's, OK cubs, Mcoys, Torpedos, Fox's, but the Wen Mac was always the "thumbs down" engine. I can't tell you if it was because of their tolerances, design, crank timing, quality or what, but they are still an important piece of modeling history.
hey david i just found one of these with the whole plane and its locked up how should i go about this? also where do i get one of those glow plug heating things
I no sooner post this video, and I went out and with one spring start it fired up and ran an entire tank. No video of course....
Figures, doesn't it?
I just scored 2 of the very same kind. Thankyou for the vids and all the good info!

A 6X4 is a bit much. these engines will sing on a 5X3
