Well, I live in a very complicated country to do operations, but if I lived in the US I would make an attempt to buy it.
Its silencer and its throttle control are interesting.
It all depends on what you want to invest, but the product is worth it and it must work very well for sure!

It looks like someone did a lot of work to make that R/C throttle for that Cox Tee Dee .20
Opening bid is $51.94 and bidding goes for 6 days.
Two things you need to know if bidding on the "engine"
You have to have a broker (sign up to Buyee as your broker)

The 2nd problem (and its a big one). "IF" it is labeled as an "engine" you get this email about shipping:

That is an email about my Enya 06 Rear Induction "engine" that I won ( bid winner).
I sent back the email and told them (Buyee) to ship it to a Japanese (domestic) address.
I had it shipped to a Japanese friend that I have know for years when I worked for Caterpillar.
Cat sent me to Japan where I was there for 4 months working at the Cat/Mitsubishi plant.
Haru Hiroshi is the one I worked with while I was there and he has been kind enough to collect the "engines" for me,
He relabels the boxes as model airplane parts to pass the "Aviation Law".
Then he ships them to me (I pay Haru through paypal for "his" postage cost).

So, If you can't ship it to a domestic address you'll not get the item.
By the way, Haru says that the local Mom & Pop hobby shops around Japan are closing up shop (for good).
I've been getting some good Enya engines (.049 / .06 / .08 / .10) at fair prices.








By the way I won the engine above for a total of $112.13 (engine bid / Buyee fee / and shipping)

Sanwa imported Cox engines to Japan. Just like Cox used products from Sanwa to import to the USA.

I still have a 3 channel Cox Sanwa radio that still works (72Mhz band -- Channel 46) that I still use,
and years ago I purchased two additional receivers so I have one transmitter and three receivers.

I use that radio in my 1/2A and park flier airplanes. Have had no problem with that radio for over 30 years.
I have one receiver in my Cox R/C Commander and another in my Old Timer Tomboy (44 inch wing span with a Cox Tee Dee .09)





Then I purchased some R/C radios from Airtronics (Sanwa) which are on 72Mhz and the 2.4 GHz.
The attached photo is of my Viking Old Timer (48 inch wing span) with an Enya .09-III engine.
14cc fuel tank for the engine run. Throttle was used as an engine cut off for safety.

Just completed it in 2018 and lost it in a contest the same year in Muncie Indiana (AMA flying site)
The contest event I entered was for the longest flight.
The class I entered was for engines less than .15cid
I had over 30 minutes on the stop watch until I lost it -- in a clear blue sky.

Never heard anything from it to this day? Had stickers and everything to identify me, my address and everything?
Lost a good engine and receiver.

Bernie, it's on one of those Japanese auction sites.

20,000 yen ($190 USD) with 4 days left.

These sites are export sites that translate the listings and often offer shipping to their local warehouse, in which your item is shipped from their warehouse to you. So be careful and watch the shipping costs. They are legit sites.

This is the original Japanese Yahoo! Auctions listing.
