I've never bought a new rc engine, but I have found tremendous value in most used ones. This 82 I've been messing with was the cleanest looking used engine I've ever purchased. It was mounted on a very new looking H9 P-51 with avionics included. RTF total price $175. How could I turn it down? As it turns turns out I will be putting the same dollars into it as the other three nasty looking used Saitos I purchased in the past. Still, it's worth it to me and I get to further my edumakashun.
