We have been actively using this engine for many years; originally it was used to power a Goldberg SU-26 Sukhoi, first full ignition then later using glow ignition. The engine was superficially damaged in a crash. ENYA Users Manual 120 4-C We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Enya Metal Products was still in business and were more than willing to ship

The MP Jet .040 is a modern retro design of a long stroke side valve diesel manufactured in the Czech Republic. It is designed to be similar by specifications and appearance to small model diesels of the early to late 1940's. Thanks to these features the engine is easy starting, smooth running, quiet and user friendly with loads of low end torque. Successive engine runs

Design History: The Letmo engine was originally designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia in 1949 to 1950 by Josef Pfeffer in Brno. This replica engine is made and distributed by MP Jet Engines in about 2002.   Design Features: Rear induction; side port; plain bronze main bearing; admission is by induction of the skirt of the piston and thus the

I have several of these engines in my collection, at one time we were of the opinion that it should be the engine standard choice for my scale sport models. This one was not running very well and a few flips of the propeller answered my question; the valve timing was off and would have to be reset before the next run. I discovered this before: valve timing cannot be accomplished

This bearing replacement was not the easy project I had envisaged. The years of float flying had taken its toll on the condition of this engine. There was a considerable amount of rust coating the surface of the steel components, such as the crank and cam shafts, making disassembly difficult to say the least. Removal of the propeller drive would have been near impossible without the application

The ETA name is synonymous with fine measuring instruments and model airplane engines. ETA of Watford England manufactured measuring equipment and other precision things as well. As with the case of the Oliver engines, only the best was good enough for ETA . In 1951 Ken Bedford and his brother Eric were also developing a small 1.5 cc diesel. There

Published on Nov 18, 2015 A very short clip of the first heartbeats of a very rare new project. The engine that it never made it to the shops...Only 10 crankcases were ever made. I need to complete the missing crankshafts,liners and assembly them well. A complete video of the whole project will be released soon. Still need more work on this engine, as some things still need to be changed. So

This posting is by Peter Valicek and is based on his engine rebuild video wich was published on Youtube.  Sept 7 2015 Background: The subject of this rebuild story is a battered and broken FROG 500 glow engine from 1949. At that time in Europe the model engine field was dominated by the compression ignition type commonly called a diesel engine, such as the popular ED Bee

 Bore : 13,00 mm; Stroke: 11.20 mm; Power: 0.21 KW at 24,000 rpm; Weight: 120 gm.  The engine is designed to operate on a pressurized fuel system with its large 5 mm diameter venture.  The cylinder piston combination is an ABC setup.  The engine is still tight and far from being run-in so we will not run it with a pressurized fuel which it
