Yes, but do they last as long??? Just busting chops but there is a hint of truth of what I wrote. I do have a Super Tigre .51 and it was horrible! Once I tossed the stock carb and swapped it with a Perry it's now just as good as my other 2 stroke O.S. engines. But the price I paid to get it to be dependable, I could have bought a OS instead.

I got the engine for free when I bought a used plane that was hanging on the ceiling at MLHS. Super Tigre engines themselves aren't bad, but the carbs are a hit or miss. Mine was a miss.

I've had no luck with glow Evolution 2 stroke engines. They either leaked from gaskets, over heated, lost compression or bearings wore out quickly, or the rings went bad. I had 3 of them- 46NT, 46NX and the 61NX and the eventually they wound up in the trash. But I did find that the pistons do make excellent key chains!

So far, the only engines I like the most are Saito and O.S. and to me they are worth the extra cost.
