The first model of the .61 had a bell type rear rotary valve
and Schnuerle porting design, both were unheard features of
in the 1960's.
These used an odd prop bolt with the spinner nut being part
of the stud. The spinner nut was actually cast onto the stud.
|
 |
Soon the .61 evolved into a front intake version which proved
to be more suitable for conventional model airplanes. The
first versions were made from the rear intake case by machining
off the front and using a bar stock, screw in back cover with
a new cast front intake housing.
This placed the exhaust port on the left like most modern
engines.
|
 |
A new run of castings were made after modifying the mold
for a more conventional back cover.
They also made a blue fin version.
|
 |
With the screw bosses added to the crankcase a new rear intake
version was made. Unlike the original, this one used a disk
valve. |
