Two old engines

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Found an old `For Sale` advert from my RC Aircraft days

The Saito 120 powered a 9 foot span Piper Cub with a 21" prop and it was lovely to fly

So docile and forgiving

The Enya 40 was a vintage type of engine, with exposed valve gear

It powered KK Junior 60. and many others

Happy days

Pictures to follow

I love the dinky engineering that goes into a model 4 stroke engine. It’s a wonder it all hangs together really but I suppose lubrication is not an issue as there always seems to be oil from the fuel everywhere.

Beautiful engineering. Some of the aircraft engines are works of art in themselves, particularly the radial ones. As you say the external valve gear is hypnotic.

I have a brand new in box Enya 35 if anyone ever needs one. Believe its early 70s vintage, never been run.

Hi Noel,

I still fly RC for my sins, If you don't get any takers, I'm very interested in retro models and that would suit very well

How are you off for Radio gear? I'm sure we could trade or PM your price.

Regards Ray
