RE: Help... with Irvine engines
Hobbico/Great Planes/Tower's concept of shipping the stuff to China and then producing engines identical to or better than the originals makes some sense, even though I'm convinced that competing with yourself (Tower .46 & .75) only eats up profits
It's simply called greed. They shot themselves in the foot as far as I'm concerned. We used to talk about the UJM, Universal Japanese Motorcycle, now we can talk about the Universal Chinese engine.
