Default RE: 39% Engine choice?!?!

I am sure that, like the others, the EVO is a fine engine too. Very pretty. I will say this. I am sponsored by ZDZ and, especially when commenting on engines, I make sure I mention my affiliation in the interest of full disclosure. I try to be fair and balanced and not give personal opinions, instead relying only on what real users who have hands on experience (for example, Flyingrazorback) are saying when comparing engines.

Having said that I can honestly say that I have seen or have flown most of the manufacturer's engines. The exceptions are Kroma and EVO. My experience is that, generally speaking, all of them work great. Each may have its own advantage regarding power, weight, handling, ease of start, reliability, service, etc., but the differences are usually small and balance themselves out. From my experience they are all really good. It's like choosing between supermodels.

I'd love for you to choose the Super 160. Mine work well for me and I can fly the Unlimited sequence with my 40pct planes very easily. But if you don't I am sure you'll be happy with whatever choice you make.
