Yet you act as though we should all throw out Clarance Lee's entire article as a ''spiel'' and only good as advertising?
Act like?
Just be aware of where he (any author) is coming from. In the article he is selling the engine. There is nothing wrong with that. It is just not an unbiased position.
Just like my position on OS. I state what I think, give supporting examples and I also make clear I have no love of OS. Should they fall off the planet I would be the first to salute them good by!
In his engine clinic he tried to tell us the how and whys. I also try to show what the short coming are and how to deal with them. It is easy to say something is junk or great and run away. I try to give meaning to my statements be them favorable of critical. I'm a very discriminating purchaser of hobby equipment and am not easily satisfied by what is offered in the mass market. That is why I examine these toys so carefully, be them from any brand.
All the best,
Konrad
