I just got a brand new ASP 61FS from Hobby King for $107 delivered to my door. It took about a week to ten days from time I ordered it and I think I used like $4 of bonus points. It's on the test stand running as I type this. I have just ran it for 45 minutes, in 5 minute increments sloppy rich to break it in. Let it run for 5 min then cool for 30 min. I am using a starter but I don't care if it flip starts or not. So far I'm very happy with it. 45 minutes of run time on about 15-16 ozs fuel at about 1/2 throttle. Even running really rich it has a decent idle so I can only imagine it will get better as I fine tune the needles.

I guess from what I've read it's take your chances but alot of guys at my club fly Magnums and ASP's cuase most of us can't afford the big name ones and all ours fly just fine!!

My ASP 61FS is mounted on a float plane. It has never let me down.
