Default Reliability of YS 1.60 DZ

I would like to know about the reliability of this motor . I was in pattern before when the YS was the 1.20 SC . It was ok but more bad than good. I could fly one day run it dry and go back in three days and it would not run, having done nothing to it but put it in the garage . I would like to know about any day to day issues the 1.60 has. Also Bearing life ,any swollen gasket problems ,starting problems , the most common stuf that happens to them.

I need good reliability as I dont have a lot of practice time so I need it to run well when I can, that was always the problem before and mostly what forced me out of the pattern game then. YS had the motor more than I did. I dont want to go down that road again. I hope the saying that you have to own two of them is not true anymore.

Thanks kirk
