Status: offline 		I've recently been in contact with Ron Young and he mentioned he was thinking about another production run of ABC Conquest piston liner sets.
Yes "The Ron Young".

I sent him my conquests to run through - he is getting some good performance in freeflight trim.

Is there any interest in additional P/L sets - no I have no cost info, wanting to test the water and gauge interest.

Status: offline 		Thanks Dave and Chris.
I beleive Mecoa has a lot of items listed but they don't seem to be manufacturing or shipping anything

It really is a shame as they have bought a lot of manufacturing rights to vintage engines but nothing seems to be happening.

I understand Ron's piston/liners will be to his spec - not OEM - he was the factory works guy for Cox in Santa Ana and turned out some really hot conquests for QM15 among other uses.
He has mentioned his engines are spinning 29k in free flight trim- (with the correct bits - of course)

Would like two (2) if it doesn't break the bank. Working part time in a machine shop owned by my brother, I know the work and cost involved in a project like this. Been there done that.

Thanks for weighing in.
Yes the greater interest we can generate the better the run and the set up gets spread across more pieces

Any one else want to take their Conquests to the next level and loose that heavy slug of a piston?

Status: offline 		MECOA charges as much for a P/L as they do for a engine and you dont know if these A.B.C. P/L are any good or not,you would think that Randy would let someone that knows what they are doing test a set,You would think that this person who has everything needed to make what people need for this engine would do something intead all he does is sit on what he has but I gett when you have $$$$$$$ it makes no difference if you make parts or not!

Status: offline 		I just want one of Young's, I have a Glenn Dye made one . I want to see if they are different. plus it gives me an excuse to get the .15's out again. I gave up on Mecoa a few yrs back, seems they just want to make sure no one brings back the better engines of old or maybe it is just a collection thing they have. I dunno. I can make a Conquest scream, I just want to compare, its the hobby for me. God bless the small 2 strokes!

Status: offline 		Its very easy to make a Conquest better than what Randy at MEOCA is doing, seams like all he wants to do is mill the COX name off the case and take some credit for something he had NOTHING to do with!

As quoted from the website linked above:

" This company, owned by Randy Linsulato, continued to manufacture the Conquest (after being produced by K&B) under its own RJL label (currently out of stock)."

Looks like he may have had something to do with it?
