I'm dating myself I realize, but when I first became interested in RC airplanes, it was possible to purchase the ubiquitous and cheap and reliable Cox .049 engine for close to $30! Yes, this was 30 years ago, but inflation hasn't gone up that much! Cox doesn't seem to be found unless attached to the word "Vintage" and OS and other engine companies start at $200 for airplane motors. Gone is the Cox EZ Bee with the .049 for $100 all in. are there cheap motors to be had? or does affordable now equate to electric? Geez, listen to me...."In my day..." I need to watch that. The other day this whippersnapper at 7-11 told me my cigarettes were to cost me $11. $11! Now as always, there is 15 CENTS of product in a pack of cigarettes, I told the lad that I began smoking and cigarettes cost a dollar. His face contorted and he asked "HOW OLD ARE YOU?" Due to substance abuse, overeating, sedinentary living, smoking I look 15 or so years younger than my 45 years. I did not channel WC fields and kick the boy in the ass, at least not this time.
