RE: Norvel Engine FAQ
Has anybody compiled a list of the similarities, differences, and parts commonalities between the Norvel AME .061. the Big Mig .061, and the AP Wasp .061? The AP .061 I bought and put an RJL diesel head on for my son's first control line plane* externally looks like a Norvel AME circa 1998 except for the threaded prop shaft and turned prop nut with an ogival shape. Internally it has 5 inlet ports like the Big Mig and a round connecting rod instead of the flat piece shown on the parts list. Are there any more differences of note besides the absence of the Revlite coating and the guys machining and assembling it being fueled by plum wine instead of vodka?
