I have just bought a new Enya 15 CX
Hi all.
Its a bit of a story.
Only three weeks ago I saw Kim's Q tee flying on you tube. I have since built one and posted about it. People liked my fuel tank!!!
Anyway he suggested I join the Cox Engine Forum so I did.
I now have three Cox 049s and an 09 on the way.
I have also had a spiritual need for trying out control line flying.( Thats your fault)
I have built and flown a few decades ago but I am being pulled back by a force!!!!!
I am currently building a KK Phantom to fly my new Cox 09 which is in the post.( Can do a build blogg if you want?)
But my real dream is the Keil Kraft Demon which I think is a beautiful model.
This may be because it was the very first model aeroplane I ever saw at the age of 10 in Singapore.
I have never forgotten it and its story so I just must build one and soon.
So hopefully this explains the Enya 15 CX which will fly my KK Demon.
I think it is such a " boy" plane ( model) if you know what I mean.
I do not like pure scale models.
I like models that look like toys but fly well.
Will you admit to that?
I love the Enya 15 because of the old way it was built.
I like turned and milled old style heads not the cast stuff.
Hard to explain but I am old and cannot get out if it.
It was my boyhood.
WAS???.... I still am!!.... And don't want to change it!

Cool should make for a good engine for your project ! Yes why not do a log on the build !?
Is the engine broke in ?

But I'm pretty sure the Enya .15CX has a cast head, it is only the perimeter that is turned...?
It is also ABC and double ballbearing, you cannot get more modern than that

The .15CX is a bored version of their .11 engine, so it is not quite as powerful as other .15 engines. Mine has always been a bit tight in the bearings, the front one is a regular bearing and I have not been able to source a proper, looser fit, one.
Run's and throttles fine, just don't expect a power house.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.
There was me thinking I had a new old time engine.
Anyway it does not matter.
Lets just say I like the look of it with its cylindrical and polished head.
So for a 15 powerhouse what would you go for?

I have one of the RC ones tucked away in its box, I don't think that I ever ran it, something else came up I guess.
When the .15CX engine first came out I jumped on it, as the .11CX series engines (both AAC and ABC versions) are all good runners. But the .15CX is only similar in power to a .10 engine, in my experience. I also had a problem with the stock muffler, it would distort the crankcase so instead I've run mine on an OS .15 muffler (which might be more restrictive compared to the Enya one).
The strongest .15 "sports engine" that I have is the Cox conquest, it beats anything else by a clear margin.

I have "TWO" each of the MVVS .15 (2.5) glow and diesel. Both with side exhaust.
Now those are superb engines!
Take a look on ebay for the example:

These are Schnuerle ported engines and they are real screamers!
Not cheap either.

Re: I have just bought a new Enya 15 CX
I have nothing of hot .15's to boast of. Only Enya .15-III TV and standard, Fox .15X, Magnum .15 R/C, OS Max .15FP-S, OS Max .15R/C, HB .12 - all sport engines. But, they are all reliable runners.
Addiction sets in, one Cox engine is not enough!

We've all been there done that!
From this time forward, you will service us. You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

Woody, we all here are not normal.
We are all unique, in our own way.

Does this look toy-like enough?
Relax, I think you will find yourself in very comfortable territory.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. Now that you're building, they have the leader.


Plus, now that you are building, I guess you are living your dream job!


And, mufflers? Who needs them?
