Joe,

I fly with Dale Arnold and he passed down a Himax 210 to Charles Simmons, they both flew it to death, and then Charles just passed it down to Dale's son Kyle thru various airplane horse trade's and the motor is still going strong. It has to have over 500 or 600 flights on it. I have one as well and I have close to three hundred flights on mine with no issues at all. I rarely go full throttle with it flying Advanced. I have also flown most of the upcoming Masters schedule with it and had no power issues at all, its really strong. The only downside, it is a little heavier than the other motors mentioned here you might compare weight if that is going to be an issue for you. I suspect if you are flying F3A you might consider going high dollar, but otherwise the 210 is all you are going to need...Easy install out-runner, reliable, powerful and cost effective.
