Tee Dee .020 throttle sleeve

[blabree]

Does any one know of the availability of a throttle sleeve for a Cox Tee Dee .020?
I am almost done with a 14" 2 mil coro PBF and I was going to put the TeeDee .010 on it but it came out a little heavy for that engine so I dusted off my 23 year old .020.
I would like to be able to throttle it and I think I remember that there was an exhaust restrictor throttle available, but I cant remember where I saw it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

blabree

There were some for the .049s, but none that I know of for the .020, although it wouldn't be hard to make one if you had to tubing the right size...

Cox made a PeeWee .02 RC with a throttle sleeve. The same jug is used for the PeeWee as the T.D. .02, so it should work there too. Just have to look around, that's all! I don't have camera software installed on my computer yet or I'd post pics of mine.

Picture of .020 R/c
Found this on a site in germany.

Pee Wee .020 R/C (0.33 cm³)

Manufactured ca. in 1994 (#1001)

This is one of the last Pee Wee products. It came with an exhaust throttle ring which can be remotely controlled. The propeller drive washer was hex shaped to fit the plastic starter washer (not shown). The cast metal back plate has one filler tube only and a small vent hole

The exhaust throttle was only available on the Pee Wee RC, but many people, me included, just used them on the Tee Dee instead. I suggest calling cox and asking them, it COULD be an in-stock part. If not, your only hope is ebay or swap meets. They are not very rare, but they are kind of desireable.
They actually work pretty well, I use a few of them.
BUT...most planes of this size fly full bore all the time, it's pretty rare to throttle back, so maybe fly it without the throttle and see first if you don't just need full bore all the time to stay airborne.

PS, you need the cylinder and sleeve together, the sleeve will not fit on anything but the special cylinder machined for it...
