Title: K&B .61 twister?
Post by: Tomas Jansson on August 04, 2012, 02:16:23 PM

Have tryed to contact Mecoa by mail to find out what comes with the engine if i order a 61 twister head. ???
Looking around the website don`t make me any wiser ,the RC-engine have muffler on the picture and the c/l don`t.
Perhaps one of you know what i will recive in the package.
Thanks
Tomas

On the web site they list the weight of R/C version plus the muffler, on the C/L version only the engine so it is my opinion  that the C/L version does not come with a muffler. I use a tongue muffler on all my baffled engines anyway so it wouldn't be a problem for me.

I bought a Veco 19 and a K&B 61 from MECOA in recent years. No problems getting the engines. The 61 is the regular version, not the twister, and it came without a muffle, btw.

MECOA's property is being taken for some kind of development, which  is why they're moving, so it's perhaps understandable we may have trouble communicating with them for the next few weeks.  I was looking for them to have a moviing sale, but it didn't happen.

One of the "cable" channels, Discovery maybe, did a feature on MECOA, showing how engines were made. It also showed the owner running a diesel on a test stand and flying an R/C. He seemed like a decent guy.

Thanks for the answer H^^
Are a bit careful because i was timing my latest business with S&S hobby's a bit wrong just when they were closing
down and it was a pain to fix things out from here in Sweden.
S&S was very nice and helpful and everything was cleared out at the end.
Nothing that i will be trough again.

Will try to contact Mecoa again, i think
