Vega Model Engine
 

I have been collecting model engines for a while now and have gotten some vega’s in my collection. I would like to know if any one would happen to have any information about them.



I currently have a 25,61,120t number 001,180t and an oddity of a 60 that has both a compression screw and a glow plug.



From reading another forum post i know that the 120t is rare as it is the only one to be built in a long stroke configuration.



But would appreciate any other information or documentation.

Here is a good write up about them: https://www.adriansmodelaeroengines....php?cat_id=419

Here is an interesting thread from 23 years ago: https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/glo...s-made-uk.htmlhttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...5fe6803895.jpg
Is this the one you have with the compression screw, maybe it's a Diesel.

Here is an assembled 30.
