Well, my .45BB turned up a mere 4 days after ordering it. Sterling service from Enya as usual.

What a beautiful engine! It turns over as smooth as anything (distinctly smoother than my new .35-III which is a bit grabby at top of stroke). Amazing retention of compression for a ringed engine. I solemnly pledge that it shall never see glow fuel containing an oil other than Castor!

Can anyone comment on my proposal to build a Pathfinder for the .45BB? Good match? I love the look of that plane and hope the Enya .45 might be a good fit for it.

cheers,
Colin
