Once everything is working well I can move on to 100 hour tests on 3 engines using different fuel/oil combos to see where we are after 100 hours of running etc etc.

As you can see there is a lot still to do but I am not prepared to make the same mistakes as some of our competitors by releasing the engine before it is ready
Jon,

Thanks for the update! I think we all support Laser's approach on not releasing an engine which then has to be betatested by the modellers. I think many modellers have been disappointed with Saito Fg-20, to name one example of a product that was released before it was ready.
