FROM CANADA'S ANDY WOITOWICZ
The MICRO-FLITE®/COX® TD .010 "R/C" ENGINE is "innovative" and "marvelous". "For the longest time I wondered, what the heck is Roger talking about, 'thermal expansion?' etc. One look at the throttle and two phrases in your manual instantly answered my question. In a million years I'da never come up with the concept [THERMAL EXHAUST THROTTLING™]. ...I suspect that you had one of those brilliant eureka moments."
"The issue of quoting top and bottom numbers is vastly more complicated as the engine gets smaller. And, the smallest engine most of us has seen is TD .010. That having been said, Roger has tackled these complicated issues with determination and has actually succeeded."
NOTE: Andy Woitowicz is one of the world's leading experimenters in throttling small internal combustion engines for models. He is widely acknowledged among small model airplane enthusiasts as one of the world's foremost experts and authorities in this field. The incredible scope and depth of his experimental research in throttling small model engines, which is truly amazing, can be found in his feature article, Kit Bashing 1/2A Engines, in the August, 2001 issue of FLYING MODELS. Andy is the most published experimenter in 1/2A throttling!
FROM FLYING MODELS' RANDY RANDOLPH
MODEL MAGAZINES most published small R/C plane journalist.
"The COX .010 lives again...and with a genuine throttle! ...a variable throttle that provides stand still idle all the way up to a 32k top. [dynamic!] ...Heck of an engine, especially when you consider it has a reliable throttle from dead idle to 32k rpm."
