Anyone know the part numbers for a piston and a cylinder for a K&B 29S?

Craig Bartlett, NW Regionals CD-for-Life, would probably know, as I think he collects the things. Unfortunately, I don't know his SSW handle, although he has been seen around these parts, even if rather infrequently.

This, however,

will get you hooked up to our Main Man in the NW, John Thompson, and I'll bet he knows under which rock Craig is hiding at the moment.

I have a parts list with my .29s Greenhead (in the box), but I think it may be for later model engines. The piston and cylinder are listed as follows:

8514 Piston & sleeve assy - 4.9 cc $22.00

You might also check Tony and Addie's hobby shop in Burbank, CA. He has a lot of old engine parts there, may have just what you need.

Is this a Hobby Lobby Store?

I've already ask Frank and he didn't have any leads.

Absolutely not! It is one of the last true hobby shops in the world. Ask anybody from So. Calif.
Somebody please pop in here with the phone number. I don't have it since I live 1400 miles away from hobby shop heaven.

Don't know about ancient K&B engine parts, but Tony is always helpful. I was just scrounging parts to build a rat racer from him last week. In most other shops around here they would ask "what kind of ARF is that? Whaddaya mean it's not an ARF? It's a model airplane, ain't it?"

Worth a try.

T&A Hobby Lobby

Burbank, Ca 91505

I've also had some luck buying building supplies from Evett Colby in Santa Monica on Ocean Park Blvd. He doesn't specialize in CL, but he carries some CL kits and I would call it a "real hobby shop." Bought some nice wood there recently, too....

Need to clear up a possible point of confusion. Tony and Addie's shop is called Hobby Lobby but it has been called that for many many years and has nothing to do with the nationwide Hobby Lobby chain. It is a true model airplane shop. Walk in the door and you will find Addie building something. She can do C/l, R/C, FF or indoor. A most talented lady. Tony can do likewise.
