How many small sized (.049,.09 sized or so) C/L engine companys are out there besides Cox and Norvel? I'm not a big lover of Norvel, I have one of those Lite Machines Heli's with a Norvel .06 on it and I could never keep the thing from over heating. It would fly for like 2 minuts then loose power.
Are Norvel C/L engines any better?

Where would one look for a C/L diesel engine?

For Doctor Diesel (Eric Clutton) tty: http://www.cafes.net/doctordiesel/
For Carlson's Engine Imports (Ed Carlson) try: http://www.carlsonengineimports.net/index.shtml
For diesel head conversions, try MECOA (RJL) or Davis Diesel Development (DDD)
Outside the USA, you might try: Just Engines or PAW

How 'bout machining your own diesel engine. I have read some articles about them but never took an interest. I never thought I would need a different type of engine, just parts[:'(]
While I'm on the subject of homemade, who has built a complete engine from chunks of aluminum and steel? Whats the feasability of it?
Thanks in advance

Its kinda strange but its just my luck that just as I get into 1/2A flying, Cox goes out of business. Here in Canada I don't see too many model suppliers carrying diesel engines or diesel model fuels.

I had thought about going to the .07 Norvel in my LMH, but someone tolled me that it was not worth it because the .07 was not much better. But after hearing your luck maybe I'll give it a try. I do like the little heli, just want to fly it for more then 2 minuts. Can I just buy the .07 engine or do I have to get some kind of conversion kit?

Yes I too heared the same thing about the rods breaking, but you have a good idea by keeping th compression low. I think I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the info.
