Friend of mine is executor of a will, among the stuff the family has asked him to dispose of are several drone engines. 2 & 4 cylinders:










There is also this thing:


And this, which actually runs:







So, are these things of any use to anyone? They are located in Simi Valley Ca. No idea on value etc, but I believe the Liberty engine was selling for dang near $6K a few years back

Just found 2 more pics:




I think the 2nd pic is some kind of ram jet, it runs.

The red engines are a 15 cube Richter 200-400 dollars on ebay, bigger one is a 45 cube McCulloch or Menasco about the same value, flat four is a 100 cube $500-$1000 used on some Gyrocopters and the V 4 is a later engine used on some 250 MPH drones.

The Radial is hard to ID with a cropped picture, could be a Magnum or OS, Robart perhaps $1000-$1500 Any better picture to post of the radial or a data tag? The OX5 and rotary engine should fetch 5-10K each and the Dyna jet not too much $250 perhaps.

Engines in the plastic box look like Tecumseh Snow pup engines $50 each there is a forum on old and unusual model engines at rcuniverse.com

The guy who has the stuff is away until the 8th, I've sent him a link to this thread.

Just got a email from him, he's in the middle of Wyoming someplace. He said he'l be back mid august ish.
Found out the drone engines were given to the CAF at Camarillo, but he still has the other stuff.
