Maybe the point is being overlooked here in a way......compared to a Ryobe and other Homelites being sold..........and on the other note......IF you lose your plane because your high dollar engine "quits" and you are not close enough to get back to the field........will your high dollar engine mfg. pay for your plane ? I think not , so there is no discussion there....we are talking about an economical engine for SPORT flying....NOT T.O.C. give me a break here........!
