My question is what prop are you all ruining now on these engines?

I'm trying not to ruin any at all.  ;D

ATM I'm using a Master 10x7 3-blade with a Continental.  It probably isn't the greatest prop out there, but I've got ground clearance issues.  Otherwise I'd probably go for something like an RSM 11x6 wood prop.

Looks like they are all sold out or not making any more. No longer listed on their web site. That was quick!

Just a sidenote: I'm still not satisifed with the way my S-45S (new, not 6001) runs but the SS-50 ring, WOW!  :o now that's a good running engine! Still only bench tested though, will mount on plane soon. 8)

       As the old saying states," know who your sources are!"
       
       So I'm issuing the disclaimer that I'll probably go to my grave never having successfully learned or flown the Pattern.

       For what it's worth then, I have an Enya 45 RC - 6002 that I converted to control line and mounted on an ARF Tudor. I made the venturi with a .250" ID opening at the narrow portion ( That Looks About Right!). Can't remember if the spay bar/needle is OS or Enya. Zinger 11/5 prop, Enya muffler, 10/27 fuel, and .015" x 65' lines. The runs are rock steady (no 4-2-4) and good line tension in all the maneuvers that I can do. The plane/engine combo gives tremendous confidence in trying maneuvers that scare me to death; verticle eights, hourglass and cloverleaf.

       The -6002 is a single ring, baffle, ball bearing engine. Have no info on the internal differences between the -6001 and -6002. The Tudor is set up with carbon fiber/titanium push rods, line slider and taped hinges. A great trainer.

There are a some nice Enya articles on the Supercool Props web site. Here are 2 worth reading about the 45's.

The first has the interesting part about the 45 model 6001 at the bottom.

Any one else notice these are no longer listed on their web site? Think there will be anymore?

For the past few years Enya has been making engines in small batches. When they are gone, there is no guarantee the will be coming back so get 'em while you can. 45 6001 engines come up regularly on the Bay, that is probably the best of the 45's IMHO. 8)
