HB 40 (non PDP)

I remember in 1982 I had my first RC trainer, a sig kadet with a real dog of an engine (brand will remain nameless) which I could not get to run well. I wasted several training sessions until finally dad took me to the hobby shop to get a new engine. I really wanted an OS, but the hobby shop was out and recommended the HB. I was very discouraged, but we bought it. What an awesome, powerful and user friendly engine! Now the training could finally begin and I soloed that summer.

I still have it 21 years later and it still runs pretty strong even with tons of hours. Only complaint is it is a big engine, and takes a .60 size mount.
