Default RE: QM 40 future without Nelson?

Are you kidding me ??
Iunderstand that alot of people use Henry's engines and have been very happy with his products. Ican accept the loyalty and following he has and am the first to admit that his engines have more wins out there thru the past yearsthan any others. Ialso know that he has sold more of his engines for our market than all the rest........
Ihave been around the racing circuit since the late 70's early 80's and have seen many of the developements along the way. Some of it was good, some a waste. Iremember when we were using ringed engines and standard bypass porting.
Ialso remember a year back in the 80's when we sent a group of top notch pilots to represent the USA at the FAI championships and we won as a team using SuperTiger engines. Can anyone remember who put thoughs engines together and to make them run ? All the man Hours spent hand fitting each one and making sure that they were running at the peak performance. Iknow who it was and he did it for the Team.
Does anyone remember who spent time trying to fix a vibration issue when the first long strokes came out? and Don't say they didn't vibrate because we all know they did !
Yes, Dub built all though engines for the FAIteam and fixed alot of other problems for other engine makers. He has stepped up to handle things that NOONE else knew what to do about , never asked for anything in return.
It's amazing to see so many people that have basically turned there back on Dub Jett and I think alot of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Dub has struggled with a few things over the years but has ALWAYS been there to help a fellow racer when theyneeded it, always answering questions and doing thebest he can to Improve the Hobby of racing remote control airplanes. Dub Jett makes an incredible engine of TOPquality .
so to answer the questions outthere of,,what are wegonna dowithout Henry....Buy a Jett !!!
