Mintor 1.7 - low cost engines

[Roberto Estrada]

Hi Chris, Webra is a great option, overall about cost for low maintenance
and nitro.
Your planes are about 10lbs, mine will be about 10.5 to 11lbs, and I may see
over sea level too.
Can you tell me about your configuration, like header, pipe, prop and rev
too?

Tony post that Webra 145 are $259 now but I want to know where to buy at
this cost.

Really thank's for help.

Luis Roberto
