The most expensive motor

[charles siler]

I was watching a OPS 90 motor go for over 1200 for a stock motor on ebay.

I actually fly 1/2A rc airplanes myself (as well as rc boats). Many (brand-new) Cox .049/.051 variants bid for over $100.00 each on eBay. I believe, at this point in time, there is no more Cox production happening. Consequently what's on the market is it. Apparently there is a vast quantity of engines, and parts, floating around. Moreover, the Canadian-owned "Cox International" stocks various new replacement parts, however very few quantities of new complete engines- if any.

I've spent over $300.00 on four (brand-new) Cox engines (Tee Dee .051's, Golden Bee .049, Black Widow .049). I can remember as a kid buying the popular, basic, Cox Baby Bee .049 for like $8.00 I believe?

Back in the 60's Macy's in NYC had a large Hobby section, bought a few Golden Bee .049,s in my day. $8.00 was a lot for a kid back then.

Lost all my airplane stuff in a fire, only thing I have left is a like new Stallion 35. Flew C/l so much in the park , by the end of day I was dizzy.

I've got a cigar box somewhere with a bunch of Cox .049's and an OK Cub in it.

Why drop that kind of money for an OPS .09 when you can get a new CMB cheaper?

Wash the dishes every other night (my sister got the other nights), washed mom's car every week & mowed the grass for my allowance. It might take a few months, but for about $20-$25 you could be flying.
