Will,
With this low of a number being produced...... what would parts availability be then? I understand the drive behind this engine and the reason for it. I would just hate to buy a new engine and 1 year later something happens with very little to no parts support. I understand that we are in this exact predicament with the older engines.... But there were how many hundereds made so parts are still out there. Just thinking outside the box on this.
Food for thought: Now if YS would remake 100 piston/liner sets with a better rod for the old FR I think you would have a 99.9% guarantee that those would sell in a heart beat..... I know... wishful thinking...[&o]

its not a big issue, the castings dies for the the longstroke are current, the only new stuff is the cnc files to cut pistons and new rods, and sleeves, rather simple issues for new parts, a digital file versus dies for castings..... its exciting times that ballistic planes and engines are making a resurgence.. a ballistic renaissance even!

Will,
...and can you also chat with somebody to talk to OS to have some RFs or even Hannos be made...??
There should be some interest in this all around the world i guess.

something OS was interested in...maybe with YS getting involved the answer may change.
Will, I would take one or two of YS short strokes if they are in the $300 ballpark. Now we just need Hatori to make pipes and headers readily available again!

Hmmmmm, chicken or egg? . . . . If guys don't buy the engines, they won't make the parts. If they don't make the parts, there will be no engines . . .

Sometimes you just gotta jump . . .

Willy,
Yes I want one, if you allow purchase for overseas buyer. I live in Bali, Indonesia.
Have almost complete an MK Cosmos 60 and would love to have a YS pulling it.
Regards
Richard

Why bother with an engine with such a short production run? You don't need them anyway. You can buy all you need from Jett if well healed, and Fox if not.

I think 500 to 1000 flights is required to need bearings. How much for a piston and liner?
I 've flown 20 gallons through an OS 46 AX and see no need to do anything to it, so I wonder if the need for parts is somehow over stated.
Anyone flown their Classic so much lately!? You know, enough to really warrant replacement parts?

ys 60 best short stroke ever

Which makes me wonder...If what Will sez is true, YS is gonna mess with a winning recipe yet again and get the adoring public to figure it out as they have done time and again with their 4 cycles.
Gotta admire YS Marketing strategies. Introducing a half baked solution every 6-12 months and having folks figger them out as they go. It should be taught in Business school as Marketing 101

They just follow the Microsoft Business Strategy.

Well, no. If it was, they'd charge $600, it'd barely make more power than an OS .40LA, and would be made out of depleted uranium for no apparent reason.

I know Paul has a list of people looking for these from last year. I am in for 2 of these motors. The same I had on Pauls list. If they make the 100 how do I make sure I get 2. My Aurora 60 and the Aurora 60 I am building from scratch both need them.

While it is possible to pump a non pumped engine, there are no substitutes for the integrated concept of the pumped "super charged" YS engine.
