I have a McCoy .09 Diesel and an OK Cub .049 Diesel engines, in addition to my MVVS and Enya made to be Diesel engines. I also have a few Diesel conversions. The Cub starts easier than the McCoy, but both run well. Of course, neither has a throttle, so I don't use them for R/C flying. I won't fly R/C without throttle control. Which brings me to why I began writing this article to begin with. Why aren't larger, throttle R/C Diesel engines more popular? It seems that the really devoted folks to model Diesels are the guy that love those miniscule unthrottled Diesels with weird names. Are you fellows all right?
