My A-paw-logies

flyingboxcar · June 30, 2017, 05:06:56 PM

NAW need to apologize

flyingboxcar · June 30, 2017, 06:25:24 PM

But Sanjay, your ID as far as country of origin is concerned is correct.

sanjayrai55 · June 30, 2017, 07:00:59 PM

Doesn't seem like a Mills or a Frog

flyingboxcar · June 30, 2017, 07:46:28 PM

The engine uses no casting, the case and head are milled from block
Recommended prop is 7 x 4

flyingboxcar · July 04, 2017, 05:29:30 PM

Haw! no one else want's hazard a guess??
These engines were made in various sizes and the smallest one was 0.1 cc, yes you read that right, 0.1cc
Any bright sparks with that clue?

Cox?

Sanjay, Cox never made a diesel as far as I know.
I am amazed in this age of internet why aren't others showing any interest in the engine thread, IC is dead???

Sir, Its look like Allen Mercury Series. Could be AE.1..

flyingboxcar · July 04, 2017, 06:39:36 PM

Bingo!!! but not a .1 cc nor Allen Mercury, But you got the Allen correct. The same Allen of Allen Mercury (AM) that many Indian modellers would recognize.
He in later years produced his own engines labelled AE. The one I posted is 1.0 cc will post more pictures tomorrow
See Google is such a useful little thing

I have a nib cox pee wee , love that little thing . Would post some pics on this thread later if it is not an issue.

British origin, long carb throat, brass spraybar, slit exhaust ports, round screw in back plate suggest a 1cc prototype from Oliver Tiger.
But puzzled by three bolt head, fins below exhaust and Enya type crankcase split.

Thought it could be from Roland Valentine. But he's not UK based, and the finish is far below his standard.

flyingboxcar · July 04, 2017, 07:46:39 PM

Iyer sir
Post 193 has pictures of various Olivers, don't think any resemble the engine I posted.
Plus Oliver's were cast case, this one machined for once you got it wrong

flyingboxcar · July 05, 2017, 09:24:39 PM

So here are the pictures of the AE (Allen Engines ) 1 cc diesel
If you want to read about these engines go here
http://www.modelenginenews.org/cardfile/ae.html

Any way back to the 1 cc example we have here

1 The rather plain box
2. Box on opening
3. Engine with accompanying literature
4. Obverse side of the literature containing engine instructions

flyingboxcar · July 05, 2017, 09:31:20 PM

Some more pictures
1. Top view
2. From the fuel inlet side (left) and also showing the screws used to retain the carb in the case
3. Rear view (you may notice there are no bolts/screw that hold the backplate, there is no backplate, the front portion of the crank is what opens up
4.The lower front view showing the bolts that retain the case halves together

Pictures of the Saito coming up tomorrow

flyingboxcar · August 01, 2017, 01:50:45 PM

Had some travel come up due to which the posting for Saito 180 glow four stroke got delayed.
Here are the promised pictures

flyingboxcar · August 01, 2017, 01:55:13 PM

Pictures continued

flyingboxcar · August 01, 2017, 01:56:13 PM

And the last few pictures of this engine

K K Iyer · August 01, 2017, 06:58:54 PM

@flyingboxcar,
Sir,
So beautiful!
Pic 3 in reply 368 made me wonder if it is assymetrical in front view, input valve head on top and exhaust valve head at 60deg?
Till i realised that it is only the engine canted 30deg in the photo that gave this impression.
Height of nit picking, eh?
Regards.

Very nice pics.

flyingboxcar · August 07, 2017, 07:11:14 PM

Yet another glow, a big one !
A Super Tigre 3000 all 30cc glow ringed
The only downside, this one is not made in Italy
Hope you enjoy the pictures and yes this engine is up for sale. Will be posting at the for sale section as well

flyingboxcar · August 07, 2017, 07:17:15 PM
