Veco 29 Control Line Stunt, Combat or Free Flight Gas Model Airplane Engine

Series 100 .29 in excellent condition. The 100s were designed by Mel Anderson and hopped up to 35C and 29R versions by Clarence Lee. Contemporary of the Johnson 29 and Early Fox .29X.

Veco engines were of variable quality from the factory, but are sought after by many of the vintage event contestants because they are recommended in the ubiquitous Veco kits.

Combat, race and stunt versions were hard to distinguish without measuring cylinder port timing. The .29R and .35C engines had letters painted on the crankcase bypass, but they usually washed off on the second engine run. 

I removed the rear cover to check to see if this was a 29R, but the absence of an “R” on the crank counterweight indicates this is a regular engine not a 29R.

The cylinder timing on this engine also indicates a .29 stunt.

Cosmetics and fits are excellent on this engine.

The Phillips head screws have been replaced with socket head cap screws and the original venturi restrictor is in place. The needle is a quality Supertigre clone.

This appears to be a very low time engine and still needs break in time. It hand starts well and is easy to needle.

Run it rich on at least 23% castor oil and it will last years.

Please see photos.

Comes with Top Flite 9X6 propeller used for test runs.

Collect it or fly it, your choice.

Please look at the photos and ask questions.
