Ok, I'm using an Ap .09 and this size is about the right size for me to work with. As I have gotten older I'm shying away from anything larger. ENYA doesn't have an .09 in production any longer do they ?
How much would the closest ENYA .15 I'm guessing cost setup for control line?
The Ap cost $50+$10 for the needle valve I'm using and another 15 for the venturi, so thats roughly $75.
But do the Enya .15 engines have bearing like the AP .09's ?

I'm sorry. I got confused. It was the t tiger .09 that did not list a price. What is the price on them and how would it compare to the ap .09 ?
-
Sorry if I do not proof read very well at times.
Do you still carry the T-Tiger 10 GP C\L plain Bearing and what is their price ?
I'm assuming they are set up as a c/l engine with No throttle ?
And how would it compare to the AP .09

Jim, in my opinion the Fox 15 would be much better for you. AP engines by and large have quality issues.
The Fox weighs only about a half ounce more than the AP 09, has ball bearings and checking the price at tower today is about $62.00

Hi Jim
They are GP10 engines setup for CL. I have not tested them against the AP so I cannot speak to that
I have 1 or 2 left in stock, $49.00

Looking at the fox .15 has me confused. It looks a lot different than the fox .15 I had in the 80's. Is this a more powerful .15 ?

Jim,
The "banjo-back" schneurle Fox 15s first appeared about 1973, but thre were plenty of the round-2 bolt-backplate baffle-piston 15s around for many years... The schneurle 15 is about double the weight of the old baffle piston 15 (about 6oz vs about 3.7oz) but is a lot more power and much more dependable than some of the baffle-pistons were.
Luck!

The AP Hornet weighs in at a portly (porky!) 5.4 ounces! I would dare say that the quality control of the Fox line of engines is vastly superior to the AP engines.
The Fox 15 schneurle ported engine has proven its worth many times over the years in many ways.
Although the AP engines are known for poor quality control, there are examples of very fine runners out there and modelers do enjoy these however you cannot trust them all to be as good.

Actually they do - they're still making the 09-IV (plain bearing, great motor), and recently introduced the '09 Quicky', which is a 2BB version.

Is the .09 quickly a c/l ready or easily c/l ready ?

You can get it as a CL motor: http://www.enya-engine.com/ListCL_E.html
I'm sure it'd be a lovely motor, but it isn't cheap. That $49 GP10 does look like pretty good value.
