Default RE: Morris Hobbies Diamond Dust

Many years ago when Morris first got his business going, I bought the SUDOKOI / ROSSI .45 combo from Walt directly and flew it almost exclusively for 2 or 3 years. He steered me away from the MVVS, said the ROSSI was the best engine for the job. I just beat the crap out of it, what a great combo! Anyway, the engine eventually started acting funny and it turned out that the wrist pin hole in the piston was worn out, this was after hundreds of flights. I called them to get replacement parts, Walt Morris answered the phone and asked how much use I got out of the engine. I told him that I could not be any happier with the plane or the engine, that is why I think it is worth it to rebuild the engine and re-cover the plane. He sent me all the parts needed to rebuild the engine and would not take my money. Since then, I have had less than satisfactory service from his other employees, but I think that Walt Morris is a good man who started a great company.
