RE: can anyone identify this tiny diesel
It looks like an AH (Arne Hende) 0.1cc to me-the video quality was poor so I'm not 100% certain. Arne Hende has been dead a number of years, so you can forget about getting one from that source. You might find one on Ebay if you're prepared to wait -and pay big money! AH engines were normally only made in lots of 100 total-the only exception to the 100 units rule I know of is the AH 0.5cc Oliver Tiger, which was produced in two tranches.
Derek Giles makes small number of very small Mills engines from time to time-and Les Saxby also does small diesels-but both these gentlemen are getting on, their prices are very high, and they may no longer be interested in producing to order

You're the one in the UK-do a search by whatever means is appropriate. His ebay ID is nipperd45-you may be able to contact him that way if you're an ebay member.[edit] I've just recalled he is a member of this forum so if he sees this thread he may respond.

This is an 0,1cc engine by Dennis Allen (better known for his Allen-Mercury engines in the past) made in 1990
from bar stock and black anodising, these were distributed by Irvine Engines greetz Reggy

RE: can anyone identify this tiny diesel
Really, i have one of dennis allens AE .1cc and i have had some very bad quality issues with it.Do you know what the name of this engine is?
Because from what i can gather the only engine that was 0.1cc that he actually sold was the AE .1cc so was this one of short production?
thank you for replying.

RE: can anyone identify this tiny diesel
The only .1cc from Allen engines ive heard of was the Ae.1cc , its obviously not one of those!, it looks just like a micro diesel that was a plan around in the early/mid 90s fromstrictly IC ( i think )
i know someone who will know what it is....... , the control line flyer Jim Woodside (if you can find him on the net he will know) , he collects engines and back in the 90s was buying one of the micro diesels of almost every type, he always had a different one , he will know who made it / how many made ( and every other detail about it ) ,
If you dont find out, i usualy see him sometime at a show during the year , i will ask for his email address and email him the link

RE: can anyone identify this tiny diesel
The plan you are thinking of is the Nano 0.1cc by Richard Gordon i have actually ordered a set of thos but despite neing ordered months ago from xlist plans they have not arrived. And thank you for pointing me in the direction of Jim woodside and Will i just ordered a 0.098cc diesel from Ronald Valentine and was wondering do you think it would fly a mini rainbow because i am thinking of building another one or maybe a peanut scale piper cub would be a dream to fly.

I have a set of the NANO plans and a magazine article about it that I got from someone in the UK a while back. I am surprised you weren't successful in getting a set as you are there in the UK too. But my copy appears to be a copy of a copy of a copy so it isn't going to copy well anymore. Anyway, it will be pretty challenging to make it though.

Yeah i am not thinking about building one yet as definately do not have the skill required to build one the problen is i think my set were lost in the post and the place i bought them from is not responding so i cant get proof of postage to claim from the post office i think they were in a copy of model engineers in the 90's but the engine i think was made by Les Saxby i have tried contacting him through this forum but got no response.

RE: can anyone identify this tiny diesel
Im not sure about the power on the valentine engine, it cant be that much differentto theAE ( probably better ) ,if so itshould fly the Rainbow fine as it will fly on the ae.1
The plans for thelittle engine, i have them somewhere but havent seen themfora few years,i will have a look over the next week as imgoing through boxesto findmy box ofspare petal valves for my zannin pulsejets , i know they are both in the same pile of boxessomewhere
Theplans you have ordered from the plans service, If they are lost in the uk post , its up to them to claim from the post ofice, they have to send another set to you or refund you
