   Not sure but I think that anyone that handles Horizon Hobbies would be able to get the price. I think Tony would sell it too. Contact him at Radio South. Good luck. Mike

       Luis put me in for liking the Webra 145 too. Also Tony Stillman reported last week that they are on sale for $259 now. That's a steal. The Webra's can stand up to any of the top engines today and they are easy on the wallet too. Mike

        Hi Luis....Welcome.
        I too am a new member of NSRCA and understand your concern in cost of
        engines. I have no experience with the Mintor, but I am now running 2 Webra
        145AAR's in 2 Zen 120 airframes which give me a cost close to the price of 1
        full blown pattern bird with a YS DZ. I'm very happy with the reliability
        of the Webra and the Zen flies better than anything I've flown. (over 30 yrs
        in R/C) I'm sure this ARF airframe will serve to improve my flying in the
        Intermediate class. I have 87 runs on one Webra and the other one has 2
        new out of the box with easy tuning. Don't get me wrong, the YS is a great
        engine, but I find the Webra is low maintenance, low vibration and a
        powerhouse (unlimited vertical on the 10lb airframe at 750' ASL on 15%
        nitro). I have had one problem which zeroed a round for me, but it was
        related to trash in the pum p, and has not been repeated. 

        Best of luck....

        Hi, I'm happy of be a NSRCA member (just one month a go) and is great look
        my name at K-factor (october). Hope can learn too much of you great pilots.
        (sorry about my english)

        I want to know your opinion about the Mintor 1.7 with Mintor carbon pipe.

        I want to buy a very good engine for my first 2x2 pattern plane and really
        hope good performance.

        I'm looking to YS (too much money), Webra 1.45, OS 1.40 and OS 1.60 (with
        some troubles for best performance I think, but the best in price)

        I'm in Mexico, and my club is about 7,500 fsl.

        Thank's for help.
