firefighter,

I very much agree with most of your comments. Many of the sports/hobbies I have been involved in have had this 'problem' with equipment envy. I do happen to like to have extra power, but find that the most important characteristic of the engine for me is reliability. I put a bigger engine on so I can move the stick up when I need to, and I want to fly without messing with it all the time. Both OS and Fox ( my sentimental choice ) have fit that bill very nicely. If I were racing or something, I suppose I would be pickier about max. power.
