I had three of them [:@] .46, .61 and 1.00. All were, well, let's say I don't have them any more. The 1.00 was so unreliable that as long as I had it on my Excelleron 90, that plane never.. NEVER consumed a full tank of fuel.

I've had great luck with the PTS ( .445 ), the .46 and .61 engines...

The 1.00Nx was HORRIBLE! Never again will I buy one of these.

I had one in my Funtana 90S, which spent more time deadsticking than flying. I think my takeoff to deadstick landings ratio was something akin to 1:1.

Hey! I had an S/K .50 engine that ran like that. After much futzing and consulting the glow guru at my club we decided it was sucking air from multiple locations and I retired it. I believe my record was 15 dead sticks in a single day without a single completed Vertical Cuban Eight (my engine test pattern). Learned me that when the price seems too good to be true ($47.77 intro!) it may be too good to be true. Replaced it with a ST G-51 and never looked back.

Like their ARFs though.
