New Enya C/L engine
« on: February 06, 2007, 06:34:42 PM »
"" Bill I got my Enya engine and have run it and so far am quit satisfied. Seems to have good power, starts easy but does need a little more breakin time than I gave it so far. Runs a little rough an sure that will improve with age. a very well made engine as per En ya quality. My test report so far. ""


Leo,

Thought this deserved a thread of it's own. Hope you don't mind?

Glad you like your new Enya.

I've had a few of them over the years, and was very impressed with the quality and reliability.

My first R/C trainer got a used Enya .40TV very early on, when I had no luck keeping the original engine (an early model Thunder Tiger .40), running well enough to finish my flying lessons. Dorked that trainer into the ground I don't know how many times, and only had to dig the dirt out of the carb intake, and flush it with fuel, to get it running again! The Enya was still running great, when I moved on to better airplanes.

Did almost exactly the same thing with an OS .40SF some years later, and had to buy a new crank case, because the carb separated from the engine, with some of the case still attached.  ::)

You going to the Delta Park field tomorrow? I may try to make it out there, if we are not baby sitting again.

Bill, It is a good engine and when I think about it it may be sounding like it is rough when in reality a muffler may make it sound better. I have a ringed 46 that is a sweet runing engine. and runs real good on the bench. We flew on monday and will probably go out again on Saturday is the weather is good. There was another man I think on this same post that is flying this same engine and it sounds like it is  running like clockwork. I may have your e-mail adress but just in case if you send it to me I will keep it posted.

Leo,

My email address is in my profile, but I'll post it to you in a private message just in case.

Thanks for keeping in touch, as I figured you guys were altering your flying schedule to dodge the occasional wet weather we have here in the NW.  LL~

Leo,

Did you get my email? Phone number is at the bottom under my name.

Warren also had trouble sending me an email, until I put his email address in my Comcast address list. Don't know whats going on with that, as others have been able to send me tons of spam from all over.  ::)

We are baby sitting at my daughters again today, but I should be home after five.

Later,

Bill
