Jensen Ugly Stik and Pro Line Radio
I'm flying an original Jensen Das Ugly Stik that was built in 1969. It sat for many years in a friend's storage room until he passed away and his widow gave it to me along with his other old R/C stuff. It's equipped with the original 1970 Pro Line Radio on 53 mhz (reconditioned by Radio South) and I found a new Enya .60 Mk III engine on Ebay. What a sweet combination! The radio is solid as a rock and the Enya idles and transitions better than most modern engines. Anyone know if the front bearing on the Enya can be replaced with a "shielded" or "sealed" type so that it doesn't shower the plane with so much oil? Anyone else actually flying Pro Line?

Do a search in RCU for Proline. You will find a couple of threads on the radio plus conversions to the Micro*2K computer radio. Your Proline is a very desirable item to have for this conversion.
I don't know much about the Enya, though. In my Ugly Stik, I'm flying a Veco .61 and Kraft 7 channel single stick.
