thx Doug,

being a brand loyalist (customer) use to get some respect, but what OS and Futaba do to their customers is just plain rude.

''hey let's discontinue these items so the stupid consumer has to buy our newest product''................

not to change the subject either, but at least YS customers are able to run their engines long past the discontined date as YS has parts for them.

i'll be making the change to those soon Doug
I agree with you on the YS parts availability long after the particular model is discontinued. I went over that topic many times years ago. OS appears to do that with all of there engines when they are retired, and if you could get the parts, they useally are far too expensive to even bother with it.
