Richard,
I love the sound and eveything about Saito's (except the oil and fuel cost), but this new generation of gas motors is undeniable. As of now, I don't believe there is a gas motor that can compete in the smaller than Saito 1.25 size. I have a Swany's House Mojo 60 (3D profile) that I am very tempted to put a DLE-20 on. Initial cost is less than a Saito .82. Fuel cost is nothing! No glow ignitor, no electric starter, no paper towels, no Simple Green.

There is one downside. If it smells like my Weedeater, I would wrap the front of the fuselage in a plastic trash bag. That helps.
