I'm with you on the fun factor aspect of the Saito .30. I just think, judging by the pictures, that the model is a bit small for it and that the engine position will present a recurring vibration failure point. I could easily be wrong. In fact, I hope I am.

Even if one committed to the .30 and found my prediction to be true, it could still be easily converted to electric power at a later date. So, other than a bit of weight gain and work lost, there is nothing lost in proceding with the Saito .30.

It would take one horrible electric motor to shake anywhere nearly as much as an IC engine, two or four-stroke, don't you think?
