I have just bought a new Enya 15 CX

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!!

Addiction sets in, one Cox engine is not enough!

We've all been there done that!

Welcome to the CEF Borg Collective, Woody.

You should know, your life as it has been, is over. 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.

(Can do a build blog 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.

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.
