Default list of 1/2a engine manufactuers

The only 1/2 a engine i know of are Norvel which seems to be out of business , AP and cox. I am looking for .061 and larger.

Any one have more engine brands and links to their websites?

I think you can get Norvels from SIG, tower has AP and you can also use TT

There is a list of such manufacturers on
http://groups.msn.com/12Aalltheway

Norvel is alive, they just got consumed by sig, so thier site needs to be reworked..

Be aware that carlson engine imports is now carlsonengineimports.net not carlsonengineimports.com.. so the links to carlson don't work unless you change the com to net.

Thanks for pointing that out Clint. I fixed the Carlson links on 1/2A all the way.

Norvel is still in business.

Norvel engines are being imported by SIG now, not the previous person.
Sig does not own norvel. Sig had been the US distributer for Norvel, but not the importer.
I think only bigmigs and no more .049s will be made.

Brodack has a carb for the .049 on their web site and you can order it, even shows up at check out but when Mr Brown brings you the package.... No R/C throttle. Then your stuck with just another WOT .049.

I just revisited Brodak's website and the throttle is now listed as "not for sale" ??? I have an 049 on its way to me at the moment , but I didnt order the throttle as I intended fitting 1 of my spare VA mk2 carbies to it.
mr_leffe , have you purchased a Brodak 049?? if so how well do they perform ?

Where did you hear that there are no more .074s?

The following sites have them:
