160s and Tower

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Have used it going on fifth season now. Even though it only has around 300  
flights in that time span, I still run the original bearings and can  just fuel 
it, prime it and fire it up. It just keeps on ticking and believe  me it has 
taken quite a lickin'. And still have not bothered to use a pump on  it. I 
have to believe it has served better than the full blown "pattern" engines  
overall. 
 
How could you go wrong for that price? Heck how could you go wrong,  period!!

Particularly since you run 15% fuel, all day  long, don't use full throttle, 
can turn a high-pitch 3 blade prop at 8K, AND -  put in ONE SS sealed main 
bearing ($28 -Boca), and maintenance for the life of  the motor is over.
    Oh - you can run the Tower "6  for $15" plugs all day, every day, too.
 
Cost per flight to operate this beauty is really  down there... check my site 
for costs comparisons.
