RE: ENYA 06?
There are a couple of version of the Enya .06 that I know about - reed valve, and front rotary valve.
I have the reed valve version. It's in good condition but no powerhouse, it's 40 odd years old. Probably about the same power as a Baby Bee, but not so noisy. Very nicely built.

It is said to be a nice little engine. Turning a 7x3 at 14,000rpm or so. This is the diesel version in this picture I found but the glow looks the same just with a plug sticking out the top insterad of the tommy bar. As far as I know they are not imported into the USA so those that are state side are brought in while traveling overseas or sent by out of country friends.

RE: ENYA 06?
Richmond RC apparently has them, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the RC glow version...

I love 1/2A, but c'mon - WHY can't we have good throttle response, and at least a muffler that BOLTS on? Wire clippy doodads just don't cut it....

RE: ENYA 06?
Thanks for that link, dt. It seems like MRC totally dropped the ball as far as Enya goes. Properly marketed and distributed I think Enya could do well in the US. The rest of the world seems to like buying them. At $46.95 that 09 is a great deal. Cheaper than an LA .10.

RE: ENYA 06?
hmmm - comparing the specs, it's a LOT heavier than an AP .061, and apparently doesn't perform as well (assuming both engines perform as advertised).
Enya .06: weight, 90g - RPM, 14,800
AP .061: weight 54g, RPM, 25,000
Enya .06: weight, 90g - RPM, 14,800

I suspect when an AP turns 25,000, it will be due to adding two tach readings together.
