  • Here's where we take a look at another website of model-flight interest. It might be a commercial site or one belonging to another enthusiast or specialist group. Let me know if you've come across a nice site that you think is worth a look - it could, of course, be your site if you let me know your URL!

 

Model Engine Company of America
My quest for some information on Hirtenberger engines for Denis Wolff (see the post-box page) took me to this huge website virtually dedicated to model engines from names not familiar to all UK readers, perhaps, but clearly some wonderful gear!

The composite screen shot shown here is just to give you an introductory view of MECOA's home page, where the whole of the central block consists of links to the many interesting pages on the site.

There's a Model Engine Swap Shop where you can post your own ad for free and the Accessory Showroom page features spinners, nuts, diesel head conversions, mufflers, tuned pipe systems, glow plug adapters, etc., etc. 

The Owners Guides and Technical Information page is a brilliant resource - that's where I was able to find an on-line manual for Denis's engine and the good folk at MECOA even offered to post the manual if an address was supplied.

Other pages cover special deals, on-line ordering, safety advice, customers' picture gallery, EngineLand model engine museum, custom made components, links to other sites and information on The Model Engines Collectors Association. A great visit!
