RE: FROG 2.49BB
Ditto-I think there may have been a bit of confusion somewhere along the line between the Frog 249 and the Amco 3.5BB (or PB for that matter)-the Amcos did get a justifiable reputation for breaking crankcases and shafts respectively. But the Frog never had a reputation for breaking in my and my modelling circle's experience......it DID have a reputation for being thirsty-and needing a lot of nitrate in the fuel, but not for being a fragile engine. In some circles it was considered the poor man's Oliver!
