I think I may have had the luck to purchase the last new OS LA-S .46.  Is there a company that anyone knows of that still stocks brand new control line engines? 

Kaz Minato still has 13 in stock:

With the Yen to USD rate, I bought 2 this year from him for the same price, with shipping, you would by them in the US if you could find them.

That's great! Only problem is; I don't read Japanese/Chinese.........

There was a post on here a few days ago about a where Stalker engines can be purchased in the USA. http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php/topic,40313.0.html

Or this place is good, I got parts for one of my engines earlier this year. 11 days from Ukraine to NZ.

Stalker engines cost more than an LA46 but they are worth every cent. I run a .51 in my Legacy 40 and it goes great. Loads of power and very consistent. I normally don't need to touch the needle valve at all.

As already mentioned, Enya still make a nice line up of engines. I've not run one so cannot comment on how they go.

Good News: They are still in the catalog, can be made to work stock but better if re-worked by Randy. Bad News: They have been on extra-terrestrial back order for quite a while with no change in sight. 
I did notice that the RCJAPAN site lists the RC versions of the Enya SS50 and 40 XZS. Both can be converted to C/L with parts that are available in E-Bay (shuttrman-the control line store) and possibly other vendors.     

Kaz is now shipping the first production run of his K77-RE. (Sold out I believe, but check with him to be sure.)

It hit customs....

Evo .36's are still available . While not top level competition motors they work pretty well . Great Hobbies has one in stock ($99.00) Canadian . They will fly anything a LA .46 will but the mounts are narrower .

Be careful when dealing with RCJapan, they do not have any C/L engines in stock and they do not have a clue of Enya production schedule.

While a true statement, it has to be put into context.

RCJapan does not stock anything. The modern system of supply (plus the uncertain nature of the hobby business specifically) has the seller sending the order direct to the factory when something is ordered. That's why they can discount so heavily: the have no stock overhead, some of which may end up sitting for years.

Even Ken Enya cannot say for certain when certain lines of engines will be run, so how could a supplier? 

Enya is the only Japanese company making control line-specific 2 stroke engines (that I know of). My order's in. When the engine's made and shipped, I get billed. Simple as that.

It's no different then dealing with Brodak. They have no 40s but I'm in line for 2. When they get made and shipped, I'll get billed.

If there's a better game in town, I'd like to know because I'm not seeing new control line engines that are mass produced anywhere in the world right now. I, myself, cannot afford $300+ for an engine.

Is there a company that anyone knows of that still stocks brand new control line engines? 

You could deal with Ian Russel directly if you are after an R&B Metamorph engine.

(Or if you like diesels PAW still make their dedicated 40.)

     Hi Phil:

     You are very fortunate to live near Scott Reise.  I consider him to be a great engine man and he could hook you up with a great engine.  Give him a call at 503-246-4631.
