I have witnessed Mikes's engine problems many times and I can tell you my Navy training in swear words comes in very handy after every in flight engine failure. I have a Thunder Tiger .61 that runs great on the test stand and is ready for flight.I also have an OS .46 that runs fine...a little hard to fine tune in cold weather but we have run the rag weed out of this engine. My question is this:
What would be my best buy for engines in the ranges of .40 to at least .80? Hang the cost I just want to avoid buying junk. I have had three MDS engines and I've never been impressed with them. Would I be better off with four stroke? If so what make and size equivelent to the same power range of two stroke .40 to .80? Dead stick down wind landings over a full grown corn field can really get the juices flowing!
