I have to agree with you on the Evo .45. Mine is a powerful engine that is easy to start. I don't know how many flights I have on it, I can look it up, but maybe 70 total. Only 2 deadsticks and that was due to trash in the needle valve. I got it used with my trainer, so it maybe has double what I've flown myself. This is an engine that I'll never retire.

Just got the Evo .46NT and it is very powerful too. Flew it 6 flights on Sat.
