1469.0. "ENYA 2 STROKE" by SALEM::DEAN () Tue Nov 03 1992 11:10

    Does anyone have experience with Enya 2 stroke engines? I am trying
    to decide on buying a O.S. or Enya .61. As I understand the Enya is
    not an ABC engine but uses AAC. This doesn't sound like a durable or
    lasting metal configuration as compared to ABC. I have been using O.S.
    and I have seen a lot of Enya 4 stroke engines that seem to run fine
    and last a long time(won't rust, bust or collect dust). Anyone Enya
    background... your comments please

	Enya verses OS......Hmmmmm how relegious are you???????? I've had an Enya 60 TVG8 2 stroke engine. It was a fine engine. Never missed a beat, had plenty of power and survived 3 "impact" tests. I'm also now running an OS61 long stroke and it runs great. No shortage of power (its on my pattern plane), and totally reliable. If "I" had to choose between the two, I'd pick the OS even though it costs more. If money is really tight, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Enya. Steve
1469.2	No problem with Enya	STOHUB::JETRGR::EATON	Dan Eaton St.Louis,MO,USA, 445-6522	`Tue Nov 03 1992 13:26`	3
	I started out eith an Enya 45CX five or six years ago. Although the rest of my engines are OS, I'd have no problem buying another Enya. The OS engines were chosen to match a particular application. The Enya is still running just fine.
1469.3	ENYA .60'S	SALEM::DEAN		`Thu Nov 05 1992 07:41`	5
	Does anyone know what the differences are for these model types form Enya, .60 XF TV .60 XF 4 .60 TV
1469.4	OS and ENYA Both Good	CIVIC::MARRONE		`Thu Nov 05 1992 12:51`	7
	I own three OS 2 cycle engines and one Enya. I like them all equally well. I would put up my Enya 40 BB SS against _any_ other ball bearing 40 on the market, and it would acquit itself very well. You won't go wrong with either one, IMO. Price will determine the choice. Regards, Joe
1469.5	Engine of choice?	SALEM::DEAN		`Thu Nov 05 1992 15:35`	4
	Interesting responce. As much as people like the Enya engines the OS engine seems to be the one of choice. Even though the Enya may be a little less money. I wonder why?
1469.6	Noise?	KAY::FISHER	The higher, the fewer	`Thu Nov 05 1992 15:49`	16

1469.7	Who's parts does your local dealer sell/stock?	HANNAH::REITH	Jim HANNAH:: Reith DSG1/2E6 235-8039	`Thu Nov 05 1992 16:07`	6
	I flew Enyas and Webras 15 years ago and they were a very durable, inexpensive (didn't say cheap) beater engine. They did very well considering I did more than my share of figure nines in C/L Stunt and combat. OS is a very reliable engine and has the reputation for coming out of the box all set up and ready to run. People don't twiddle carbs very successfully and the OS one runs right out of the box. I don't have any experience with the Enya carbs.
1469.8	Thanks!	SALEM::DEAN		`Fri Nov 06 1992 11:03`	5
	BINGO! re:1469.6 hit the nail on the head. NOISE LEVEL. Thats the exactly the information I need to know. I would hate to spend $'s on a good engine that the club won't let me fly because of noise level. Worst is having to buy a new muffler and spend more $'s to reduce noise. Thanks for all the great inputs guys.
