Zenoah engines are primarily industrial units put together in flowband
work. This means a very solid construction with very high quality of individual
components. This is the basis which we use for our ZG engines. It is obvious
by industrial mass production that everything possible is done to keep
down the often biggest cost component being wages.
According to Komatsu’s information, these engines are assembled in 20
second tact in sub assemblies. Time for completion of one engine is two
minutes, of course in such a tempo there is no time for fault finding
not to mention correcting.
We were aware of this problem as long ago as when we handled Quadras.
It was clear to us from the beginning, that every Zenoah engine sold by
us must be quality controlled in our own workshop. Over the years the
check lists have grown ever longer after the motto “Es gibts nichts was
es nicht gibt” rather difficult to translate but roughly equates to “there
exists nothing that does not exist” in other words anything is possible.
We no longer concentrate only on checking; after stripping down we rebuild
and readjust engines for perfection as model aircraft power plants. We
employ two full time workers in the engine department who strip down each
and every engine, check and clean every component before rebuild just
as we would wish for our own very valuable models.
It takes on average thirty minutes per engine and cost for this time
has naturally to be partof the selling price. So as a small bonus you
have five years guarantee on all our Titan ZG aero-engines.
Is it worth saving a few Euros for Original Zenoah Engines from a non
franchised importer that does not shy from using our trademark?
The very good name and the utter reliability of our Titan ZG engines
stems not only from Japan but is “Made in Germany” by Toni Clark.
PS: Fitted to all our Titan ZG 80B twin is the Easy Start System and
the HT cables are screened.
