JBA 52A

This engine looks similar to the OS46AX but as I don't have an OS AX (46 or 55), I can't compare them. This is an ABC type piston liner and twin ballrace design. I had some initial problems setting the idle mixture but that has been sorted (I would have thought that the idle mixture would have been fairly close when the engine is sold but that was not the case). Anyway the engine is still being run in, but it is a good performer. There is also a 46 size.

This is our flying field at Trentham Upper Hutt. We have a prison in the background (behind the trees)!!

New Era III

Thanks to a fellow club member, he sold me this model, a New Era III. It is powered by an OS 25FP so it is economic to run. Alas the other night I had control issues and she hit the ground a wee bit hard. It is now a slightly second hand Era III. It is repairable and she should be back in the air fairly soon.
