RE: Diesel .50s (mostly)
G'day Patxipt. I should have been more specific in what I wrote to Dave. I am looking for a glow engine to convert to diesel and the LA 46 seems to be a good candidate. Also, the 1958 Taipan 15 is also a diesel. Gordon Burford and his son Peter manufactured engines in Australia from the early 1950s to the late 1970s. They made some excellent diesels and glows and the 1958 is held to be one of the best plain bearing diesels. The Old Timer croud here run an event called Burford which requires the use of a Burford engine and these are becoming rarer. I guess that Dave Owen's reproduction will be able to be used in these competitions as well as vintage control line events. Peter Burford makes an excellent 0.33cc diesel as well.
