Here you, yourself have given one of the main reasons people will continue to switch to electric power. They have had problems with their glow engines. Just because you've mastered the art of running your Y.S. engines and they work great for you, dosen't mean there aren't better sollutions for other people.... "People that don't enjoy fiddling with engines".
So, just because I think the future isn't your favorite power source, that isn't an inditement on you personally. I believe you will have your Y.S. engines for as long as you like. I just think that as time goes you will find yourself in the minority to a greater extent.
Again, please don't take this personal. It's just an opinion on where the industry is headed.

Completly false in my case, I have three 170CDI, two on two Osmose Evolutions and one in an Axiome, non of them have ever been rebuilt, and non of my engines or my F3A flying partners have done so, so again, yes, I am veeeery good with the YS engines, so do not have other peoples problems, anybody can ask about that to Richard Verano, Marcelo Colombo and many other people from around the world who have seen our engines work.
Again, I have two electric F3A also, the Camodel's Onas and a Xurama(on final stages) and I like the simplicity of electric, but YS is much better in many ways, so, "we" are not changing anytime soon, and for sure anybody can see when someone leaves the YS because it has problems with them, but as the high performance engine it is it demands care when tunning it and patience.
Again, saying electric is the future and everybody will change is what I don't like, just because it does not cover or respect the people who believe the IC engines as the best option for them, I have many electric airplanes, but a little more IC engines, and I really enjoy both equally, but for F3A I still prefer the YS, and the electrics are for practice on the times IC are not allowed.
As this is an electric forum, I leave this as my final comment as don't think there is much more for me to say .
