I've heard that the Evolution engines are pretty beginner friendly as well, but I haven't owned one so I can't say for sure. That's good to know. This is off-topic, but the Evolution Radial engines are sure neat and priced a lot less than the competition. That would be something that I would like to look into if I ever start on a Ziroli B-25!
