Hay Jaka & Kmeyers,
I agree 100% with your comments on your choice of engines. I've several K&B .65 Sporter in models over the years and these had to be on of my most reliable engines I've ever used. I've been in this hobby for 60+ years and found the plain non-bearing K&B engines to not only be very reliable, easy to start, idle so low it amazed me, but never failed me. I've acutally warn out several K&B .65, .28 and 45's over the years. They are solid engines and 1/2 the cost of any bearing engine and the best bank for your buck.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Bobby of Maui
