Info on the .049 Cox engine.

The Cox's .049 engine glow plug heat's up quick on low voltage, and start's fairly easy. However, Cox Engine Company offers a .09 diesel head. The purpose of this head is that it does not use a glow plug. It gets its spark from compression. The fuel that is required for this is a homemade mixture consisting of kerosene and diesel.
