I recently "discovered" that I had a very low time Enya 60II Model #7032. I must have used it back in my early R/C Pattern flying days. Anyway I see that she is an old school baffle pistoned type. I weighed her and she came in at 12 3/8 ounces less venturi,tongue muffler,and NVA. I test ran the engine on a movable test stand with a 12 x6 prop. .295 Venturi,Enya NVA ,homemade tongue muffler,5% fuel,23% oil.
The engine ran GREAT and would break from a rich run into a 2 cycle when lifting the test stand nose up.
My question is simple are, or were these engines any good for stunt ? I've got 2 Shark 45s that I'm planning on building. I already have an ST litecase 60 for one of them......Thanks,PhillySkip

Yes they can be good stunt engines, I would use a 13 x 6 in a 60 size airplane, 10 % nitro 23 % oil , half castor
Should work well for you

The Enya 60II Model 7032 and 60III Model 7033 are quality engines. The metalurgy is first class, the rod is bronze bushed on both ends, the piston has bronze bushings in the wrist pin hole. Both engines were offered in C/L configuration, but are rarely seen with a venturi insert and needle valve assembly.

Thanks for your response. When running the engine she sure did seem like she'd make a good candidate for a large ship. I'll keep you posted on how she flies....PhillySkip
