The Engine I have been most impressed with is the new dual BB 40 XZS, very light very well made great power and is a very good ultra light ST 46 replacement
Hey Randy:
Have you checked the timing on that Enya 40 XZS yet. I recently mounted mine on an old profile Tanager test bed (weight~52oz) and set it up with a pipe to experiment with it. I'm starting with the pipe around 17", and an APC 11.5 X 4 prop.
What do you think ?

Just a thought: How 'bout running it with a standard SE muffler first to establish a base line for comparison with the tuned pipe run. Most people will be running them that way anyway. 8)

Already done that. I think I've had this engine for almost a year now. Broke it in on the bench and have had it in 2 different profiles, probably 30~35 flights total. Completely stock the way it came from Enya including the factory muffler. I like the way it handles, ran it in a 4-2 with 11-5 prop and 10% nitro. Starts easy, power maybe a little stronger than my Brodak 40.

Thanks for that - it sounds as if it could be a contender and a good alternative to the other engines in its class. 8)

HI Allan
I have not used this motor on a pipe, maybe when the weather warms
But this is a very powerful long lasting 40, it maybe one of the most impressive new motors I have seen.
If you try it use a 11 x 4 prop and 17.5 pipe lenght
Regards
Randy
