A nice plus that it has the fuel tank. Other than the comp screw it looks just fine.

I was humbled to be given this boxed set reproduction Clan .25 c.c., no.2 in the series. Quite exquisite. Last photo shows the complete set as supplied.

Frog 50
I was just reading an ancient Aeromodeller magazine (February 1953) to remind me how to re-trim my Stomper after re-covering it and I noticed some interesting advertisements.
The E.D. Bee Mk. 1 shown has the later (no radial mount lugs) crankcase with a metal tank. More amusing was the advertisement for the FROG 50. It said that it would run from 500-1500 rpm ![]() * Danny M * |

The advert you mention just shows a couple of out of date photos. The Bee and the Racer shown are not the current models, that's all. |

Exactly the same process as the Boddo Mills in fact. |

Ken, you must have missed an episode. Mike did tell me that the engines were made by CS.
Mike's original idea was to make available something like the Dragonfly diesels, sold by HJN in the late fifties and early sixties. In fact, the Clan is very similar to a Dragonfly, but with SP induction. I think the early porting problem is more likely down to CS inexperience than to some unlikely and totally unsubstantiated tale of its being done intentionally... In fact, copying the Dragonfly, the only thing that CS had to invent was the SP induction, and they got it wrong... |

Clan .24 c.c.
Good evening Brian
According to the article by the late Ron Chernich in Ron's "Modelenginenews", the first production run of the Clan .24 c.c. was entrusted to an English precision engineering firm. Maris Dislers, author of an article on the Clanford Clan engines in Adrian Duncan's model engine site, states: "the original Clan 0.24 cc diesels were made in England by a firm called Prototype and Precision Engineering. The availability of the engine was first announced in the February 1992 issue of “AeroModeller” ".
