HB .15 arrives
rsv1cox Fri Apr 01, 2022 3:20 pm
Shamefully like new original condition, not my style but I'll live with it. Still a bargain @ $35. All I have got to do to it is run it.
Not the fit and finish of the Enya.
Wow, almost seven years since I last ran this engine.

The main needle looks odd, I have certainly not seen version that around here, it is likely not the stock one...

Here are some of my engines, .12, .15 and .21PDP to name a few.
Perhaps there could be a dedicated HB engine thread (HB-club thread?) rather than all these scattered ones?

Might not get the patronage that some of the others Kris, but I'm game. I would post my first test of it there if you want to start one.

BTW, nice collection. I did not know that you were such of a fan.

You're really lucky to always find a good deal Here and there but I, on the other hand, have difficulty with the more expensive chiping or som buy now that wont chip To Canada its hard To Find Good deal
I lead on a ap wasp .061 big mig engine on eBay But surely once again I will lose it at 70$ plus 30$ chiping in canadien mony its Not a lots for one of those engine You find a lot of beautiful pieces That you make worthy of an exhibition i like This

What are you using your HB 15 for
Aeromister Sun Apr 17, 2022 7:36 am
Anyone have a HB .15 in a model that they are currently flying? I have two of these jewels and looking for something to put them in.
Thanks

I've had mine in a "Topstick" from Topmodel. I have tried lots of engines in that plane, Enya .09, HB .15, MVVS 2cc diesel, and then the strongest yet, a Cox Conquest that beats the rest by a hefty margin....

Kris, out of curiosity, I looked up your airplane, appears to be no longer produced (or my French is bad 
). Found this catalog page on a seller's site:
Seems to be a very nice ARF sport model with classic Ugly Stik form factor.
Wingspan 43 inches.
Yes, a Conquest .15 would be la creme de la mint. They mention an OS .15-LA as typical starting power, a world of difference between the two.
But, your taste for engines have been a bit wilder than mine, I like jalapenos
, you like habaneros.

Yes, I guess the Topstick is not made anymore, I've probably had mine for +10 years. It is a classic "stick" design with a fairly thick wing profile and quite lightweight (depending on engine and battery choice). It would do consecutive loops even with an Enya .09, but it is much more fun with the Conquest engine in the front.

I remember when "Das Little Sticks" were all the rage.

I think I have four-five "stick-type" planes right now and another that I need to finish the covering on, non of them are "The Ugly stick" or the "Littlest stick"...
I just like the way they fly, you can build them to be anything you want from trainers to racers depending on wing profile and engine choice etc. Even in "racer mode" they are very well behaved and easy to land.
