Default gas is winning out

Sounds like OS had better think about a gas alternative or come up with a better alternative than the BGX 3500. From what I can tell, the 3500 doesn't provide that much more power, but the weight is almost double. The 160 is a lite engine with greta power when you consider cost. Hard to beat the value.

I am going to give the Fuji 50 a try and maybe I will feel the same as you guys with gassers, but engine cost also plays into the decision. Sounds like electronic ignition vs, flywheel plays into the cost and user friendliness. Maybe as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for" applies. I hear you guys about the fuel savings, minimal adjustments and no dead sticks etc. You make a good argument.

At any rate, I hope OS is listening...........
