Default RE: OS 91 VRDF experts wanted

Hey FF..didn't know that you've wrestled with one of these engine before. I've seen them often for sale with no time on them. Compared to running .50 sized [and under] engines and that size of plane do you see any advantages with running this engine..?
At 21-22,000 rpm is this engine built to take it over the long haul compared to let's say a .45 that is run at 24-25,000...?
I've always liked the idea of trying one of these engines, but figured that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and have reached a point where if I want to add a new toy around here, I must get rid of 2 old toys first......
