I am on my 4th model and i am in the market for a 4 stroke engine. I need one in the .20 to .30 range for an affordable price. I was looking at O.S. surpass engines and at 170.00, it seemed to be alittle steep. I also looked at magnum engines for about 110.00. I am willing to spend more than that but this price is definatly affordable. However, This being my first engine, Im not sure what is the best for my money. I dont have the luxury of buying something and not liking it so i would like to make my purchase a good investment. What would you seasoned veterans suggest be a long lasting, affordable, reliable engine??
( It is going in a 20 size great planes J-3)
