O.S. pattern motors

[Bob Pastorello]

Plus, you only have to replace the original main bearing once....put in the SS double-seal and forget about it.  I have hundreds of flights on two of them and there are no issues.
    Jon - thanks for recommending my site;  I've tried to put easily-reproducible results out there, and I just cannot fault the dependability of the 1.60 setup.
    In terms of $ per flight VALUE, I cannot think of a less-expensive setup to buy, operate, and maintain over the long haul.

  Hi John,
  You will be very happy with either engine. Why not go on price? The reply that Jon Lowe wrote is right on the numbers.
  You struck me as someone who will be comfortable doing the bearing replacement, so the 160 is an excellent option.
  Good meeting you at the Black Dirt contest,
  Dean

  Guys,
   I'm looking for some insight into which motor I should use in a new ship
  (Focus). I like the O.S. 1.40RX because it's got a rear exhaust, but the
  1.60FX looks nice too. If anyone has any experience with either of these
  motors (props, fuel, pumps, things that wear out, etc.) I'd appreciate their
  input. Either one is a bit of an investment so I want to make sure I'm
  making the right choice. Also if anyone has used any of the new Hyde mounts
  (with the nose ring attached to the mount) I'd be interested in hearing
  about that too.
