New R/C Diesel range

There's a report on the Barton c/l page about a new range of UK produced diesel converted engines suitable for r/c aircraft.

Website at: https://www.westonuk.co.uk/Ed-By-West-/

Do they actually sell stuff?
I have seen that website but it looks so outdated, didn't think that West engines where still being made...?

Yes, they do sell.

i bought an ED Super Hunter from them a couple of months ago.

A new range of multi purpose diesels are available.

Options for each engine:

1. R/C throttle or standard C/L venturi

2. Ported for speed or torque

3. Standard muffler, mini pipe or exhaust manifold.

Some of them look like Webra crank cases.

Yep a real EU effort. The box says made in Austria ;-)

Alan at Weston contracts making parts out. Some are made in former eastern bloc countries. Crankcases are a development of the Webra Speed series.

Have you bought one Ray?

No, I have too many engines already. :-)

I found an Irvine 25 throttle assembly, the Elfin and a box. I'll check with my club member friends after Xmas to see if we can improve on it's handstarting.
