Technipower radials

[Robert Zambelli]

In what country was this engine manufactured?

[Howard Rush]

I think I had some Technipower radials on my Miata, but they had too much vibration at 30 and 60 mph.

I believe they were US made. Earlier ones had molded plastic rocker boxes, and later ones had metal. BTW, it's Technopower, not Technipower. You might get better results searching that way.

The smallest one is 35 cc or about or around 2 cubic inch.  I don't think they are legal in our hobby.

They were initially made in UK, but sold lock, stock & barrel to a Yank after a few years. This was the best information I found in a quick search. It turns out there is at least one other "Technopower" company, so watch for that.  Steve

Thanks for the answers, Gents.
Mine has the plastic rocker covers and an OS carburetor.
It's around five inches in diameter and has no name on it.
The guy I bought it from told me it was a Technopower, brand new and never run. He got it as part of an estate sale, took it out of the box and put it on display, never even mounted it on a plane.
I paid $25.00 for it.

That's all I know about it.

Sweeeeeet!  Just curious, would you be interested in parting with it?  I believe I've got just the plane, built, and ready to fly it!  Just think, you could share the credit for a completely unique project?  How about it??

No one has mentioned how anemic they were
