All my experience with the Thunder Tiger engines has been very 
positive.  I have a small hobby shop and have sold more than 100 of the 
Thunder Tiger engines.  Of course the GP.42 and the Pro .46 have been 
the most popular, but I have sold both of their 4-stroke engines and a 
few of the 1.20s to customers, all of whom are happy with them.  I  
have used and liked the 1.20 SE in a IMAC-type airplane.   Now the 1.20 
RE comes as a pumped and an unpumped version.  The good news is the the 
pumped version of the 1.20 is currently on sale and would make a great 
buy for someone who needs that size motor.  You can get the engine, 
pipe and header for under $200.  There was a "buy it now" Thunder Tiger 
1.20RE pumped engine, pipe and header on E-Bay a couple of weeks ago 
for $195.
