My Engine Collection

Throughout the years, I have collected a number of vintage and more recent RC engines. These are mostly engines which I could only dream of when I was young and when I didn't have the money to acquire them...

Most of the engines are acquired new, some second hand. Some engines have been restored, i.e. cleaned up, new gaskets and new bearings installed etc.

Furthermore, I have a nice collection of aeroplane kits, an extensive collection of old transmitters and finally, a large collection of plastic kits for static display.

If you own new in box engines you'd like to sell, I may be interested. I'm most interested in rare OS MAX engines.

The engines shown here are normally not for sale, but if you're interested in a particular one, we can always talk about it... I do have duplicates of several engines, mostly OS FSR and SF series.

 
Example of engine restoration work

...and after full restoration

 

Above is one of two engines belonging to Wim Reynders and restored in 2022. The engines were previously installed in a Topp Transall semi scale model. Perhaps one day, it will fly again with these restored engines...

   
The engines are listed in alphabetical order. Not all are shown, this is a selection of 171 engines (out of 250+) from 44 different manufacturers:
