I have a Medallion (Cox) .049 that has the double slit exhaust that is Nostagia legal. It is used and has a brand new piston/cylinder/glowhead assembally. I'm asking $40.00 plus shipping, which will probally run about $5.00.
E-mail John at [email protected] if interested. I can send pics if you e-mail me.

"Nostalgia Legal" is a Free Flight designation, sort of like "Old Time Stunt" is for C/L. Not sure on the years, but alot of the designs come out of the 1950's. BMJR kits a number of designs that are legal. Alot of fun!

That is totally weird, I already knew the "Nostalgia" related to the
time period FF event, but I have always been bewildered by the arbitrary
engine validity. As far as I remember, legal engines were restriced to
certain(not all!) engines mfgr'd in the time period specified; pre 1958
pre 1959?? Anyway the Medallion is a post 1960 engine, yet the Nostalgia
rules purposely exclude the Holland Hornet. It's been a long time since
I looked at Nostalgia rules, maybe a lot has changed. I never flew Nostalgia FF
because it excluded original designs or modified period designs. I flew
Lee Hines modified Ramrods in the late 1950's through middle 1960's.
Sorry, I know this is a CL Forum...... [photo not recovered: sipcof.gif]

As far as I know, the Holland Hornet is legal for "Nostalgia", the only Medallion that is legal is the one with the slit exhaust opening. I'm hardly an expert, I just regergitate what real experts have told me

Here's the Medallion section from the NFFS Nostalgia FF rules. For the entire rule books, see: http://www.freeflight.org/competition/nostalgia/nostalgia_power_info.htm

Tagged on to the end is the allowed Holland motors.

Class 1/2A:
3. Medallion .049 (SE), as sold in the early 1990s. It contains four small exhaust slits of the same
size and two intake bypasses with one boost port per bypass. The engine must be used in stock
condition, except for the following modifications:
• Enlarging the inside diameter of the venturi.
• Reducing the outside diameter of the stock needle-valve spraybar to increase airflow;
• Replacing the needle-valve assembly as noted below.
Class A: 051 Killer Bee (SE) and Medallion (SE) of the above vintages and with the same restrictions as
for 1/2A; Sportsman 15; Olympic 15 (SE).
Cox Parts Restrictions: Use of Tee Dee parts in Killer Bee or Medallion (or in any otherwise legal
Nostalgia engine) is not allowed, except for glow-plug use as described above. You can replace the needlevalve
assembly used for the Medallion, but the Tee Dee needle-valve assembly or its parts is not an
acceptable substitution.
Note to Contest Directors: The Tee Dee cylinder has boost ports in the bypasses, with two open-type
exhaust slots; the Medallion has four small exhaust slits.

Holland. 049 and 051 Hornet; 049 Wasp.

If it is supposed to be a nostalgia event, then one should be able to fly the same plane and engine setup they used in the time period. Back then anyone who used a Medalion to fly against the Tee Dee was an idiot. I don't ever remember flying against anyone using a Medalion. Now I remember why I dropped my NFFS membership. Stuff such as this.

Thanks Norm and Guy, My first 1/2A Starduster initially had a Cox SpaceHopper for power. When I replaced it with a T.D.; I realized I too
had been an Idiot
