I must be a lucky guy. I had a Magnum .46 XLS on my LT-40, crashed it (reversed the ailerons and didn't catch it somehow) and put the engine on a Big Stick 40. The only dead stick I've ever had with this engine was on the LT-40 when the muffler came loose. I didn't know what a dead stick was until I started flying my Four Star 60 with a Saito 100 (have overcome that, the Saito is great).
