Default RE: What glow engine would you choose

My favorite? That would be a tough one! My first engine was a Dennymite, in 1939, and over the years, I'v had at least 50, maybe more, engines. An early favorite was the Forster 29, and I had at least 6 of them. I had one in a Korda Powerhouse, around 1946 while in the AF, and when I was discharged in 1948, with my discharge money, I went to the PX, which actually sold model stuff, and bought 2 more Forsters, a Bantam, and a Mixmaster for my Mothers' birthday which was Oct. 2, my discharge date! During the service, I had a Phantom P-30, Ohlson 60, Hassad 65, Madewell 35, and a couple others I can't remember. Since then, McCaoys, Ardens, Atoms, Enyas, Sks, a number of 049s, 061s, 09s, Fox 40, 35 74, Forster 99, PAW diesel, HP 25, HP-61, several HP-40 rear rotor ( a SUPER engine), Atlas MX-50, Atlas G50, Enya 4-stroke 90, and now have a ys-91 4 stroke. I can't even remember all of them! OH!OH! I may be giving away my age!!! Naw, I don't mind. I'm 86, my wife hits 91 0n 8/10, and is legally blind, and STILL kicks my butt at the bowling alley!! She recently beat 2 guys with 214 and 234 averages, and can't see the pins!!! Did they ever take a beating!!! Lee Robinson W. Palm Beach.
