Jim you missed 2 the CX11D (which I have) the 15 and 25 diesel the 25 you pointed out I am calling richmond RC enya and vmar Canada tomorrow about
getting a 25 might be quicker than down under thanks martin
Also my cx11d which came from enya UK via Just engines has a lock nut on the compression screw I noticed these do not
and is this a revivial is OS next?? like to think so and maybe irvine may take notice

Jim Thomerson

Yes, I think the other Enya diesels have been discussed here before, so I skipped over them. Did you look at the review? I was not impressed.

OK Martin, you're going to think I'm a dog, but I couldn't stand it and ordered one. The temptation was too great.

AMB

no where is it review that is??
Jim also if it runs in the same line as my CX!!D (see my post) will be happy ,Martin

Hobbsy

My Feedback: (102)

The review is by the control line engine but it is the rc version review, the review is by the wrong engine.

AMB

Jim the numbers I thought were not bad 9x6 10,600 and a 10x6 at 9200 on a 25 close to sport glow 40 and construction pix
top notch but we expect that from enya
and I like the bolt on front end

AMB

Hobbsy you have me wavering on this might just order one from down under NOW

AMB

another thought on this I have a pair of TT 25 pros with davis heads in a twin star run well and the combo is a little less $$ than enya
fitted with zinger 9x7s but like thise enyas

My 1960 Rivers Silver Arrow 3.2 turns an APC 9 x 6 over 12,000. My C.S. Oliver Tiger 15 replica turned a 9 x 6 at 10,300. My ST G20-15 will turn a 9 x 6 over 11,000. You see why I am not impressed.

The review says it's an iron and steel engine, so I'll bet that the reviewer hadn't spent the usual 2-3 hours running it in. I'd be expecting more than what he got from it. But Enyas take an age to run in. I've been running in a .15 glow; after about 1.5 hours it will just about hold 11k rpm on a 9*4 for a 2oz tank, and it's just starting to idle right. Hopefully there's more to come.

Hmmm ..

Now, if only Enya would bring out the 50CX as a diesel (a 50CX-D?), that would be very interesting!

AMB

got that that right lets wave the flag at them for a 50 new production diesels LONG OVERDUE but certainly cheers for Enya for the ones so far martin

Like this one. In case you're wondering that is an MDS .58 muffler, the stock Enya muffler is gutless and very loud. This engine has been run a whole ten minutes. Uh Oh AJ.

AMB

Called MRC yesterday and they are aware of the 25 diesel ( the US importer of Enya) they evidently have no plans to bring it it per the gal that answered the phone FIRST an APOLOGY to MRC I called back today and talked to their engine guy (Tim) who was not available
yesterday and he is very aware the the BB25 Diesel He told me if they and get a commitment for 2 or 3 they will GET them and
will have to ordered from them they are at 732-225-6360 He stated of course a niche not high demand engine so the chances of seeing it in the local shops USA is doubtful but thought that was really nice on his part martin

MRC won't import diesel Enya's?

I'm not surprised. I tried to order some E-Z retracts from MRC once, for an OK Zero E-Z ARF I had (still have!), and I gave up.

Fellows, feel comfortable to order from ModelFlight "Down Under", they are a long established and reputable company to deal with, run by enthusiasts.

Enya engines still have a loyal following in Australia. If their new .25 diesel lasts like an Enya 4 stroke, they will
have a winner!

Looking at the photo's in the review ... what's with the odd "contra-liner" in the .25D? Can anyone explain why Enya have done that?

I also take it that unlike Davis's heads, there is no "O" ring seal on the contra-piston, and that they are juggling metallurgy for the seal, like Irvine did with their .20 and .40 diesels. Is that correct?

Motorboy

The castiron or mehanite in contrapiston and contra-liner keep better warm than aluminium parts, need less compression cause enough warm in castiron/mehanite to ignite fuelmixture.

They are lapped and mounted tight. Castiron/mehanite expanding very little therefore contrapiston can not loose of contra-liner while running.

Same with the old engines and PAW engines has contrapiston without o-ring.

Motorboy what is the name of the wine made from honey you folks drink there I think your viking ancestors drank this stuff before
going on their raids. by the way my mother was Danish
Was it meade???

Motorboy

Mjød (say mioed) or old viking word "Mjöð" (say mioeth).
In russian word mjod (Мёд) and polish word miod means honey, not wine from viking period..

Not sure how they done with mjød...

So I placed an online order with Model Flight for an Enya .25 R/C diesel last night, and only after completing the order did I notice they have it marked Out of Stock. Anybody know if they'll be able to get more? I'm wondering if Enya makes these in batches only when there is demand, and when they're gone you have to wait for the next manufacturing batch.
