I must make a statement that Saito has a long reputation of the "4-stroke king". I used to fly glow and I must say that they are very, very good engines. Ofcourse, they WILL have problems every now and then, like all engines do. I own a high end 2004 BMW and I will have to take to the shop every now and then. There will be times that an engine will die ( either with a cheapo or a extra high end one) and the result of a dead stick landing may result in loss of an airplane. But you cannot use that example to blame the engine and vows that you will never buy another Saito. To use that logic as you did, will deny you of the positive things that the Saito can offer you. It is like me saying that since my BMW required more shop visit in the first 2 years more than my old Saturn that I will never buy another junk BMW! To do so, I will deny all the pleasure that it has to offer. And clearly, BMW is superior than the Saturn. I know that you will not be convinced but it is not fair to label the Saito engine as sub-standard junk as you did. Respecfully yours, Dai Phan
