I need some suggestions for the use of a NIB Enya .29-4 I recently acquired from a friend. It came in a somewhat the worse for wear red and yellow box with needle valve, two separate venturis, a high-compression head, and a silica-gel dessicant packet. Since the instructions recommend breaking it in with low- or no-nitro fuel with 20 percent castor on a 10-5, it would appear that it might be the equivalent of the venerable Fox .35's I play with.

Your suggestions, ladies and gentlemen?

Thanks,

Barnstormer, Squaw, Still's Stuka (Leonard won't catch me on that one again;), All American, Galaxie, Flite Streak, Ringmaster...
At your altitude, the Barnstormer would be good, builds light. Steve

Bill,
As far as running, you would probably like the smallest venturi and the low compression head best. After break-in, run slightly rich but forget 4-2-4 runs. I'd use a little more castor.
Your engine will probably last through all of the planes listed above

Thanks for the replies. I'll treat it as if it were a Fox .35 that doesn't 2-4 break and do an Barnstormer with it. (I just happen to have a kit on the shelf ...)
