Default K & B .61

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone has any feedback on the K&B .61 Twister engine. I fly SPA, and am looking for some lighter yet affordable power. I have three .61sf's, and love them. Would love to look into a Jett Engine, but simply can't afford to go that route. I have been using a Jett tuned muffler on my O.S.'s, and they are really something. In SPA, the lighter the better, and I have had my best success when I build extremely light, contest balsa, etc. I noticed the Twister weighs 14.25 oz., which is really in the ballpark with the Jett and the O.S. 55. The possibility of having 17 or so oz. of weight in my power would be fantastic, and the price is right. That being said, not looking to have a turd on the front of my Curare just because it's light! If you've run a Twister, tell me about the break in, the power, the reliability of the carb, etc.
Thanks,
Lindy
