Three Enya .09-IV engines -- Same but Different? Also -- "Old" & 60th Anniversary Enya .15D-II engine

GallopingGhostler wrote:I've flown the earlier mid 1960's Enya .09-III TV, without ball races, and for a .09, it is as Peter Chinn alluded to in his engine reviews, the most powerful .09 available short of the Tee Dee. But, because its power peaks out at a lower RPM, can turn larger props with ease. I like it because it is slightly more powerful than its competitor of the time, the OS Max .10R/C.

Love the OS Max .10R/C with moving exhaust restrictor plate, a good powerful lightweight upgrade (3 oz.) for a .049 reedy powered plane. The Enya weighs an ounce more, but where a little more weight can be afforded, it is a real stump puller.

Sounds like you have quite a collection now, sosam117 with engines typifying production changes over time. Thanks for sharing, was unaware there could be differences. Seems like it may be worth picking up the ABC cylinder-piston set, as I could upgrade one of my Enya III's.

(steel set rpm numbers ----- 2,500 -- 14,000 RPM) Lighter/faster! And if/when you want to order the Piston Cylinder Assembly, the Enya part number is: 093B04 Ken Enya did tell me that the ABC Piston Cylinder Assembly will fit the "old" Enya .09-III engines. (up-grade!)

I like th SNV Safety Needle Valve designation. I think I only have three in that configuration, a Quicky in the box and a .09 and .15.  I share your passion for these.

Payment for this hobby shop accepted is either by PayPal or bank transfer.
Using a Bank transfer saves you 10% on the items ordered/purchased --- but there is a good size Bank transfer fee and exchange rate fees, so it is a wash on getting the 10% discount.

Currently the Japanese hobby shop has these Enya engines available new in the box:
2 x NIB Enya 36-4CD Aluminum-Chrome TN Diesel engine for ¥38,500 (complete) discontinued
3 x NIB Enya SS30 BB EX for ¥16,400 (without muffler) discontinued
3 x NIB Enya 11CX TN (without muffler) discontinued
1 x NIB Enya 36-4C Al-Chro TN Glow for ¥27,280 --discontinued

That is all of the "New" engines that he has left in stock.
Though he does sell "used engines" --- many of them. Some ok / some not ok. -- I've gotten some not ok (junk)
He includes some photos of the engines and a short description (sometimes it doesn't translates too well as to condition.)

Just purchased from him one old Enya .15D-II (NIB) never run or mounted with original Enya OEM spinner.
And the 2nd is a 60th Anniversary Enya .15D-II that Enya only did a limited run of 60 units (engines)
Both engines were sold from an Enya collector in Japan.
Photos are from the Hobby Shop owner in Japan. (for me to look at and buy the engines -- which I have.)

The original old Enya 15D-II from 1960 with Throttle Valve shut off--- some of the photos

Could you please provide the link to the Japanese Hobby shop which still has these engines available. Thanks.

Once you know it's habits, it becomes the most user friendly diesel I believe ever produced. They take a long time to break in but it's certainly worth the wait. No diesel that I've owned responds in terms of starting like this one. It's built like a battleship but it really performs. Mine is control line but I would venture to say in r/c form it would probably run like a sewing machine. Mine currently is on a British design .15 combat plane . In the outside maneuvers, I get a bit of a burp but it readily keeps plugging along. I would guess this is due to the bypass loading but it has never quit. This could also be a result of my tank design as well.
