Um, let's see, you have a ton of experience and I believe you. But you went through the struggle of learning how to make inverted engines run properly, right? So, it was not immediate success. In fact, it was probably very frustrating for a while, but you persevered and conquered and tamed the beast. Am I on track here?

If so, we do not disagree. All I'm saying is that it is more difficult to set up and learn the tricks of running inverted two-strokes. I did not say it was impossible, not once. I don't recommend using inverted engines without warning the unsuspecting modeler of possible problems and a steep learning curve. Remember, we live in an era when many new modelers are deathly afraid to adjust the needles away from their "factory settings".

Why do you have such a big chip on your shoulder today? I don't mind when people disagree with me. I do mind when they are disrespectful. Lord knows, I've been disrespectful myself when I had a bad day elsewhere.

All I'm asking for is a bit of politeness. I would provide that even if I knew the other person was dead wrong. I don't come here to fight or be insulted. You and a few others need to ease up a bit. There is plenty of room for all of us.
