Hi ZRX61 !

I asked a friend to take a look at your engines and this is what he had to say about the oppossed four.

“I guess that I must have told you that one of my duties long ago as a
First Lieutenant at Ft. Hood, TX was running one of the first four
Surveillance Drone Platoons in the Army. One of the engines shown is
from an SD-1 Northrop drone – formerly an R-Cat target drone, it was
stretched and and had an aerial camera installed along with a
transponder for radar tracking. It also was launched by two JATO
bottles, whereas the old target drones were run around a circular
track for launching. We used a modified 75mm AA gun radar for
tracking.

Dan”

Hope this helps some.

The guy that is sorting this out is called Larry, here’s his email addy:

Remember: It’s all in Los Angeles, Ca.

How mutch would the 9-cylinder rotary engine be?

love that little 5 cylinder radial and the one in post 5 as well with the laminated prop

how much are they going for

Does that guy have a website or something where he has the engines for sale?

No website, he’s just tidying up his deceased friends estate. There’s also a hellish ’66 500+hp Guildstrand Corvette… I know that car apparaised at $52K…..

The last one is indeed a model 4-stroke engine, brand could be OS or Magnum (copy of OS).
There’s a 4 cylinder engine with a short, high alpha propeller (red tips). This strongly suggests the use in a drone. Brand unknown.

Dynajets were still available into the 70’s, I saw them in a model shop in Finchley.
I believe they’re legal for control-line use in the UK but I’ve never met anybody that really knows.
There’s a Dutch R/C pulse-jet display team I’ve seen a couple of times at Elvington. Awesome speed and control, especially considering the pulse-jet characteristic of 2 throttle settings – flat out and stopped.

The last picture is a modern (Japanese probably) 4-stroke model engine.

ah ha! thanks, so it;s an OX-5….
& over double what I heard was paid for it….

Hi ZRX61 !

I think I’ve found one of your engines here,

Very nice!

I’m at work right now, but I have more scale and antique engine sources at home. I’ll get a couple more links for you in a few hours.

It’s probably out of my league, but I’m interested in the 5 cylinder radial. When they go up for sale, and info or link would be apprieciated.

Wasn’t the Dyna Jet used for high speed control line models in the 50’s and 60’s?

Yup nothing has been sold yet. I know the guy who died paid $3500 for that Liberty engine, dunno about the other stuff altho there are receipts for some of them.
It’s all located in Los Angeles.

er,….. that IS a Liberty isn’t it?

Does the guy still have them for sale?

The ram-jet?

Rather interesting “door stop” in that first pic….. 😉

You don’t need to use photobucket, at that size you can post them here.

Go advanced and manage attachments.

I don’t know what they are either.

ok, had a clean out at photobucket, heres some pics, I have NO idea what these are…

more to follow….
