[NSRCA-discussion] Off the wall....

[Bob Richards]

Not long ago, a neighbor of mine brought me an old engine, a Forrester .29 rear intake. Great shape, missing the needle valved, but it seems I can still get parts for that engine (RJL). Most of the .29s are front intake versions, the rear intake was only made for 2-3 years, around 1950.

I have the motor out on the workbench.  I'm going to take some pix of it this morning and send them to Rex.
It appears new/never run.  Looks to be of good quality with a recoil starter, cooling fan/shroud, etc.  From what
little bit I've found on the web I think this was a replacement motor for the little generators they were used to power.
The shroud is green instead of orange which leads me to believe it was a military version.  It is in the original box
with gov't part #, it's SN, date of mfg, etc.  
I won't even attempt to turn it over.  Don't want to take the chance of messing something up for the guy.  It would
be neat to have as a novelty but don't think I would ever try to run it.
It is kinda cute though.

I had one of those, too. Engine never put out enough power, so I replaced it with the .60 conversion. I still have the remains of that copter :-)

I had a Dubro Shark helicopter in the early 1970’s with an O&R Gasoline engine with a pull-start.  It did look like a chainsaw engine.
