Hi Mr. Kargin,
Here is a british site that talks about it and drone aircraft. It is made by Westlake Aero Engines and I guess the displacement is 342cc.

i have three of these engines in the shop, what would you like to know about them? They are offered by the 3W company as the 3W-342 also see them at http://www.meggitt-defence.co.uk/prodengines2.htm

Thanks for your support but i still haven't solved my problem.
Firstly, i checked both sites and i can clearly say that 3W-342iB2 couldn't be similar 6to WAE- 342. The power of the engines are different.
Secondly, I searched for Weslake Aero Engines but they have no web page. I found a tel which i will check on Monday. If somebody knows any contact address, please let me know.
By the way, it is interesting to find very little information about an engine that is used in many UAVs.

if you had a WAE342 on your bench and compared it to the 3W=342 it would be quite clear. the same base engine was also sold under the name Gilardoni as U/L engine. May be able to part with some of my engines or a similar German engine. It took me a while to learn all the 275cc and up twin cylinder engines, now have quite a collection.

What kind of project would you be looking at for two of the big twin cylinder engines?

I'm working in a research and development project about UAVs. The engines you suggested were very useful.
Thank you.

Hi,
Would you have a operator manual for the Westlake WAM 342 for sale, either an original of a photocopy ? Alternatively, do you know where I could get one ?

Hugues
