I came back to Your films lately Piotrek and I imagine a young boy in 60s running with free flight model Jena powered, trying to fire it up, launch and watching where it goes :-) Now this Jena is in Your hands, could not have been better... What a nostalgic times...

[@valic000]

Nice to see it bring memories back Marcin!!.. I am sure, a lot boys in Poland in the 1960 did use them..and the Jaskolkas..and have so fantastic times...I have also some memories...LOL..remember once with a good friend we build a Bi plane...just out of balsa .We use a Cox engine...I think with a Peewee 030 engine.. the glue was not even dry..and we let it free fly....it took circles... up..and up..higher and higher.. in the middle of the town...and suddenly it go down..engine full roar..like a Stuka!!..it crashed of course.. but engine survive!! ;-).. we did crazy things!!!

[@valic000]

Hola amigo! Yes,you can be proud with it...Its gonna now a huge packet...I must check for a bigger box now!! ;-D

[@Huckebein2]

Good to see someone with a passion for these fine old engines. I have recently obtained a 'Black Head' JENA motor, a Glow Plug version, sadly it is missing it's carburettor. Any leads on obtaining a carburettor would be appreciated.

[@valic000]

Ho John. Many thanks for the kind words...What exact parts do you need? A C/L carb or an R/C ? Kind regards from the Netherlands.

[@Huckebein2]

@@valic000 R/C would be good. I see that the Carburettor mounting on the crank case is threaded.

[@valic000]

@@Huckebein2 Is the engine you have similar to this engine_ Or the later engine with two ports? .

[@Huckebein2]

@@valic000 unsure 🤔 I have not striped it down yet. I could send a photo... Messenger or WhatsApp.

bannisterengines Hi Bill,yes,its a lovely collection,but still not compleet,as they make so many types.The Pionier is really awsome,will try to run them one day.this is my pension money for later...i have some very rare dutch engines as well.Will also make a clip about them as well.Just packet all the stuff for José,so yours is next in the waiting room ;-D have a relaxed evening Bill!

[@thebug4046]

very nice!

[@valic000]

Many thanks! Its a lovely engine range!

[@costache01]

Hello do you have a spare crankshaft for a DC sabre engine?thank you

[@valic000]

Hi Cristian. I am sorry, I have no spare shaft left. But on Ebay, a donor engine would be not expensive so you can use that for spare parts. A run down Sabre in poor condition will be cheap... Good luck, if I see one, I let you know!

[@tw8149]

I have one engine in my microcollection. Unfortunately, it has an incomplete fire extinguisher. Somehow the performance is impressive.

[@valic000]

Hi,I dont understand,what you mean with fire extinguisher....

[@tw8149]

Sorry for the translation. I meant the carburetor.

[@valic000]

T W .ok,thanks,that make more sence! But what do you need?

[@tw8149]

OK, meybe you can send me e-mail? [e-mail] In response, I will send a photo and describe it. here is nothing like uploading photos.
