Default RE: Mac 38cc - What do you think about this engine?

Since trimmer engines normally run at nearly no-load, they have very restrictive intake and exhaust systems and mild porting to control the RPM. Chainsaw engines must have high torque with a flat curve, similar to what is required for RC flying. Blower engines fall somewhere in between. Brush cutter engines offer a good compromise as their power requirement is similar to a chainsaw.
