Depends on what you want to do with the motor, ie: type of plane you want to use it in. If you are looking for gonzo power to weight, this may not be your best choice. If you want to power a large Warbird in the 80-90" range, it is a good choice, in many cases. Electronic ignition will save some weight, and make the engine idle better and eisier to start. The magneto on a G-62 is a good system as well. They are good reliable engines have thier place, so you just have decide if it will serve you or not.
