The worst engine, again early 70's, I ever owned was a Ueda 60. They should have named it "U-needa-new-60". What a joke.

On a side note, one of my buddies turned up one day with a Magician and a Ueda 40. First Ueda I ever saw outside of a magazine ad. I think they probably imported about six of these motors in the 60's. It had a venturi the size of a storm drain. Would hardly run. We went to the trash barrel, ripped a balsa stick from a wreck, whittled it a little and stuffed it in that huge venturi. Suddenly, he was flying the pattern with it! You just never know....

The Ueda engines were good </i><P><P>I have only seen two running, and both performed poorly.

Oh, and then there's the Ueda .61 with the red anodized dual plug head... What a heavy boat anchor that is!
