  1. Thanks for the suggestions I’ll let you know how I get on. Currently building a SE5a so the engine work will be done while waiting for paint to dry.
  2. Thanks ED. Thought that may be the case I was hoping to avoid mechanical force if possible. I thought about applying the blowtorch but was concerned about the temper. I think the previous owner was a castor fan
  3. looking for advice how to loosen a stuck piston ring. Acquired a used Enya 53 four stroke. Ring looks ok but is stuck solid. Tried soaking in petrol, methanol, heating in oven without any joy. I’m keen not to destroy the ring if possible. Ted
  4. Posted by Peter Miller on 11/09/2019 15:43:52: Posted by Ted Khinsoe on 11/09/2019 15:17:33: L4 from a Sig 1/6 J3 kit. Enya46 four stroke for power. Edited By Ted Khinsoe on 11/09/2019 15:19:19 That is a great conversion of the standard kit Thanks. I retained much of the original structure but used a bit of ply and carbon to provide some strength in the aft cabin frame. The model has had a tortured existence with engine issues resulting in deadstick arrivals first three flights then a forgotten servo horn screw in an aileron servo caused a significant crash requiring substantial rebuild. Still flying though.

  6. It’s slated for a 1/4 scale L4 Grasshopper so as long as it stays running I’ll be happy.
  7. Im in Australia 1000's miles from everytwhere!
  8. Posted by flight1 on 04/09/2019 14:50:35: I have one and it is very reliable on 5% and has a low oil content fuel with fully synth oil to reduce any mess and I have not lost just one cylinder on it yet What oil content do you use? I was mainly concerned about reliability on glow but I guess onboard is a reasonable option. Thanks for the feedback
  9. I have a Magnum 160 twin new I’m contemplating converting to petrol using the Morris mini motors kit. I’d appreciate any feedback.
  10. My Fokker D-VII. Flair kit with Enya 90 4c for power I wanted to swing a large prop!
