Dennis, interesting factoid on Fredo's early Enya Typhoon .60 engine that I never knew, and it has an interesting 6 bolt crankcase front. It must have not had much of a counterbalance on the crankshaft for it to vibrate so much. I thought the Fox .35 stunt engine vibrated a lot.

Regarding the Typhoon 60, these were the 4th offering in the Enya line. First engine was a 3 bolt 19 from 1950, then the 29 Typhoon in '52 followed by the 6 bolt Typhoon 63 in about late '53 then the Typhoon 60 in 1964. The 60 and 63 were identical apart from bore size and were also the only Enyas to have serial numbers with the 63 being numbered from 6000 (less than 1000 made) and the 60 was numbered from 7000 with about 5000 made. Production finished in about 1968.

Hi fellow Enyaphiles, anyone know much about the Enya 49X?

I assume that it was originally a Heli engine but I have one in control line format destined for a stunt model (there used to be one used by a Japanese pilot at one time I believe).

Thanks.

I use 5% nitro 20% castor and Enya #3 plug for general running in my Enya 4-strokes.

.09 III
.09 IV single BB
.15 III (2)
.15 IV (2)
.19 IV (4)
.19 V BB
.30SS (2)
.45BB 6001
.60 II 6002

I especially like the ability of the little ones to swing pretty big props for their size (except the 19 V) and still throttle well, almost diesel-like. I'm wondering if the .45 6001 would do that too? The .60 is not very powerful, but it's a nice smooth runner.

I really like the two strokes, but had bad luck with a .53 four stroke (I know a lot of you love your Enya four strokes, but my Saitos haven't given me any reason to try again, sorry).

Impressive list there, Jim. I have a subset of yours:

Enya .09-III TV (2)
Enya .15-III TV (and a marine parts engine)
Enya .19-VI TV
Enya .35-V TV

Enya 4-strokes are what I would call an 'acquired taste'. My first Enya 4-stroke was a 60-4C which unbeknownst to me a little 'particular' with how it wants to be adjusted. The .60 and I think the .80 as well like to blubber a little on the idle and in turn this makes the transition a little 'bumpy'. My R120-4C I got recently throttles very nicely. They may blubber and miss but they won't quit. I think if I ever got another 4-stroke, it'd be the little guy... I think its a .36. My buddy thought I should have gotten Saitos instead, but I am not a bandwagon jumper-onner if I can help it so I avoid Saito and OS. I'm not bashing them, just don't want nor care for them. I have one OS, an FP .10 I got at an estate sale for $20 NIB, but I only got that because I needed a small engine for my trainer and the price was right. Besides, when I go flying, I want to be the oddball guy that gets weird looks when I fire up one of my Enya 4-strokes.

Enya's may not be the top performers when compared to other offerings, but they will run with little or nitro very well, are not picky with glow plugs, run good when snotty rich even, and will last almost literally forever. That and I love their sound... poik poik poik pop poik...

Yes, I'm crazy... I cannot help it, my wife made me this way.

I have been monitoring this thread for quite a while reading some great info on these engines. My Dad had an Enya .35 on a Sterling S-2 Mustang that he flew on 65 ft. lines (probably 1975). When I was 15 I bought a a Nobler kit with a .35 5224 engine NIB both for $25 but never got around to building the Nobler (both are still NIB!). I have since taken up obtaining them new and used when the price was good. I have yet to find one without good compression, though I had to completely degum the 90-4C and rebuild it.

Here's my current list:

Enya .09 II SNV
Enya .09 III TV
Enya .15 SNV
Enya .15-IV TV
Enya .15 SNV
Enya .29 5224 ST
Enya .35
Enya .35 5224 ST (Square)
Enya .35 5224 TV/SNV (NIB)
Enya SS-40 TV 6301
Enya SS-40BB TN (2)
Enya SS-50BB TN Ring (NIB)
Enya 60-III TV 7033
Enya 90-4C

I have the two Enya SS-40 TN's on flying airplanes, one a GB Tiger 2 that I am just finishing. On these 40's I actually replaced the barrel TV and G carb's with newer TN carb's by buying them directly from Enya as Enya is still selling these factory direct from Japan. I have been going between the Enya's and some OS MAX 46-SF's that run really well for this size of plane.

Any recommendations for a good sport plane for the .09 TV?

The rest are waiting patently....

I have to re-ask since I never got an answer from one of my last few posts... Is there supposed to be an o-ring or gasket on the exhaust flange at the head on an R120-4C?

I have an engine test of the .45 6001 at http://sceptreflight.net/Model%20Eng...el%206001.html (can't figure out how to make that into a hyperlink with this new RCU).

For interest's sake, there are two versions of the 6001, the early ones (like mine) have twin rings while the later have a single ring.

I've found that the Enya .15-III TV (yes the RC engine) is capable of a wet-2 peak-2 cycle, as tested on my Ringmaster Junior. Adjusted properly throttle wired wide open, it will wet-2 cycle in level flight. When one does a maneuver, such as a loop, wing-over, etc., it will then break into a peak-2 cycle. Once maneuver is over and in level flight, it will go back to a richer wet-2 cycle.

When I was 15 I bought a a Nobler kit with a .35 5224 engine NIB both for $25 but never got around to building the Nobler (both are still NIB!). I have since taken up obtaining them new and used when the price was good. I have yet to find one without good compression, though I had to completely degum the 90-4C and rebuild it.
Perhaps it is time to revisit the Nobler?

Depends what you want to do. Basically with the right prop, it will move a large half-A plane very spiritedly. The Enya's are torque engines, and thus aren't high RPM engines. I found at least my .09-III TV's like wood props, the plastics have too much inertia, needle was sensitive. A 7x6 wood prop will move a plane along with good speed. Anything below a 7x4 and you're below the engine's power curve.

Regarding the 45 6001, yes, I know there were two. I have the second one, a TV (forgot to mention all mine are TV engines). Some day I'll get it back on the test stand and see what it does with a 13x4 prop. Mine is slated for a VK Fokker Dr.I and I'll want the greatest diameter I can get. Not too concerned about power since I'm building it light and I want to approximate scale flight as well as I can.

Interesting comment about using wood props on the .09.

I never had the complete engine but Enyas Parts list for the R120 doesn't list any exhaust gasket.

I have three 1.20R's and a 1.20 but I do not remember seeing a gasket on the exhaust flange. They sort of just screwed in until the exhaust pipe lip butted up against the head tight.

You might consider sending your head to Clarence Lee to get a new insert installed for the exhaust. It could either be the threads are worn and loose now or the threaded exhaust flange is worn instead. Of course if it is holding up OK and not coming loose, maybe some high temperature silicon gasket sealant will do the trick and seal it up. You could also fabricate a fibre or copper washer to fit inside and see if that would do it too.


I think I have accumulated a number of Enya engines over the years too.
three 1.20R-4c a 1.20-4c a 80-4c a couple of 60 4c and a couple of 46-4c if I remember right. Plus a big Enya 1.55R-4C as well.
I have a bunch of the other Enya's some .15's, .19's, 29's, .35's, 40's, a 45 maybe, and a .50 as well as a .61 too.
I also have a cute little .11CX diesel too.

Earl - the R120's don't have the screw-in type of header pipe. It's a two-bolt flange that bolts on. This is one of the features that separates the R120 from the older 120. I used some black RTV silicone and that greatly reduced the amount of castor slime that built up around that side of the engine.

My 60-4C uses the threaded exhaust tube and it does not leak.

Good point, I had forgotten about that. I just happened to see one of my 1.20's and forgot to look to see which one it was. Of course it was the one with the screw in exhaust.

I think the exhaust will get too hot for an o-ring, so I think I'll just keep it sealed up with RTV silicone. I have to cut a couple new gaskets for the front housing and cambox anyway. The factory ones aren't sealing either which adds to the mess.

Man this engine is perty... The muffler got castor stains within 30 seconds of firing it up for the first time... Dawn Power Dissolver to the rescue!

English slang for "pretty". In parts of US, sometimes pronounced, "purdy".

Hey Enya addicts. Some Enyas for sale in the marketplace. Enya .15 IV model 3304, a couple 90-4C's, an 80-4C, and an R120-4C. Most of them are used but look O.K. Just passing it on.

Anyone know where Bill (Ramjet) has been/is? He's the biggest Enya fan on the board I think.
